Letter P

WOW! This is my first post on 

Tag Tuesday! How cool?!

Thanks to Carolyn for letting me join in on the weekly fun :)

For this weeks letter 'P' theme 

I chose to design my tag around the word 'POPPY'.

Hope you like it! 

I decided to base the design on the Remembrance Poppy 

that's sold each year for the poppy appeal 

by the Royal British Legion in the UK. 

I wanted the poppy heads to look like they were falling 

and so decided to make a large poppy head (shaker card style)

with the poem 'In Flanders Field' printed inside it.

(The poem was inspired by World War 1 and the poppy fields. It's a beautiful poem).

I then cut small gold and red poppy heads out 

using my Silhouette Cameo and placed them inside, 

so when you shake the tag the poppies fall around the poem. 

I have never made a shaker card before, but always up for a challenge 

I set about creating the shape in my Silhouette Cameo software.

This is what I produced.

I used WOW Embossing Powder to give the 

large poppy head and the word 'POPPY' a sparkle.

Thanks for looking
