Introducing... Remembrance

Welcome to Day 3 of the product introductions for our October Release. 

Today I am introducing a new floral and one I have had a few requests for. I'm please how this turned out and I am hoping you will love it as much as I do. So I am now super pleased to introduce you to Remembrance.





This clear stamp set features two individual poppy flowers and two sentiment options, perfect for Armistice Day in November as well as sympathy cards. But really I think poppies can be used all year round and for all occasions.




I kept my first card clean & simple stamping one of the poppies on a white panel and colouring simply with Stampin' Blends. I then adhered the panel with foam adhesive. I used one of the sentiments along the edge of the raised panels. 

My second card today is another that the lucky people who attended my make & take made at Crafterama Lincoln on Sunday. 




I was inspired by a technique Alumni Brand Ambassador Hannelie used HERE. It's a fab idea when you want to add colour, but don't have the patience to colour! 

I used the Stencil - Scattered Polka Hearts and a trio of Altenew inks to create this Bokeh effect. I could have been a little softer with the inking, so that the poppy stood out a little more. But still I am pleased with how it turned out.




That's all I have today using this set, but I know you'll be seeing more of it soon! If you missed Day 1 and Day 2 product introductions, you can catch up HERE and HERE. I will be back tomorrow with one more  introduction. This clear stamp set, along with all the products being introduced this week will be available 9pm GMT Saturday 7th October 2023.

Remembering...



They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn 
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

From Lawrence Binyon's Poem For the Fallen, 1914.
