A VETERANS CARD - IN REMEMBRANCE


The challenge at The Outlawz today is to make a card for a military veteran.

My card features a few lines from a poem by Lawrence Binyon written in 1914, after WW1, but over time this verse has been claimed as a tribute to all casualties of war, regardless of state.

I used a free coloring image of a poppy and popped up a alcohol marker coloured image over the top of the original.



 Three pearls were used as embellishments.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.
