So today we celebrate Anzac Day, for those that do not know what the meaning of this day is, it is where Australia and New Zealand remember those who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey, during World War 1, we honour those men whose courage and bravery stood tall to fight for their country as do the serving men and woman do today. My thoughts are with those that are currently serving, may they all return home safely.
I wanted to share a card today, that would cheer that special person who may be feeling a little under the weather..

I took white card stock, trimming it to size and taking the Tall Flower stamp from Hero Arts, I stamped it directly onto the card stock, coloured the image in with my Copics and added white gel pen dots to some of the flower petals. Next, stamping a sentiment from the Type stamp set also from Hero Arts, I inked up the Envelope Pattern stamp with Soft Sand ink and stamped over the image. Taking distress inks, Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy I blended around the outer edges of the card stock. Adhering this to orange card stock and then onto a trimmed white card. Finally, adding rhinestones to match.
Well I hope you all enjoy your day, I will be back tomorrow with another share..
Hugs!
