Time for Reflection by Tracey Fairgrieve
11:00
Hello everyone, hope
you are all well and keeping those winter bugs at bay.
Today I'm sharing a
very quick make.
As Remembrance day is
approaching I thought this was quite suitable
and by now you should
know how much the Poppy means to me.
This is my
Remembrance Reflection.
Quickly sketching a
scene onto watercolour card with a sepia Inktense pencil
I activated with water and when dry glued on an Acrylic Tag.
When completely dry I
sanded off the excess and re-punched the tag hole.
I coloured a
greyboard wildflower poppy surface with alcohol markers and added
micro beads to the
poppy centre (it just has to be done!!)
All glued onto the
Acrylic Tag the handwritten
wording *Remember* speaks volumes.
Red and Black silk
ribbon completes my
*Remembrance make.
Thank you for sharing
a little part of your day.
Wishing you all a
safe and happy one.

Thank you Alison, it was a shame so much of the background was covered by the poppies but I suppose that adds to its allure xx
