Anzac Day - Lest We Forget Layout - CCDT 1720

'Anzac Day - Lest We Forget'
Layout

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my next project for Couture Creations using the
 'Lest We Forget' Collection.

In World War I - Anzac day, 25th April 1915 is the day that the ANZAC's troops landed at Anzac Cove, Gallipoli.  In a tragic time, the Australian and New Zealand character of bravery, ingenuity, endurance and mateship was immortalized.  The poppies were the only flowers that grew on the barren battlefields after the war was over and today it represents the immeasurable sacrifice made by comrades who died in this war and later conflicts.

Maybe you might have someone close to you that you would like to honour their courage and do your own layout for them.

I hope it inspires you to give it a go.

My finished Layout

The elements used for this project

All the elements prepped ready for assembly.
Each paper piece has the edges blended with a combination of all the dye inks.  The poppy stamps were embossed with the red tones embossing powders (3 with one colour, 2 with the other colour).  I added red ink to the centres of these flowers.  The Eternal Flame, the Memorial and the 'Lest We Forget' stamps were embossed with the Kettle Copper Bronze powder.  Moss Stone embossing powder was used on the Anzac Day stamp.  The Cross, Standing Poppy and small poppy were cut from the Bronze Metallic Card and Red Glitter card.  The paper pieces were not a planned measurement, it was just what was left for another project.  The circles were cut from the Negative Nesting Frames.

A closer view of the layers.  I used cardboard backing for the larger matting pieces and foam tape for the smaller pieces to raise them.  Some piece were just glued to the adjacent piece.
