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.

We Will Remember Them Stepper Card - CCDT 1620


'We Will Remember Them'
Scene Stepper Card


Hello Everyone,

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

This collection has some wonderful dies and it is only fitting that they should be on the stage for all to see.

Anzac day is a day to remember how our mighty men and women sacrificed their lives to give us all a better way of life.  


I hope it inspires you to give it a go.


My finished Scene Stepper card

I started by making the stepper card.  This is the template for the card.  I trimmed an A4 card back to 8" x 11.5" to make it easier to work out the measurements.

Elements I used from Couture Creations on this project.

With the row of poppies die, I cut extra flowers from red glitter card and glued them on top of the kraft card die-cuts then randomly stamped the green ink around the stem area.  I used both red and black glitter card and brass metallic card for the small poppies. I created a mix of different small poppies by interchanging the centres.  The large poppy was cut from red glitter card and I added the outline of a small  brass card poppy in the centre. 

All the elements prepped ready for assembly.

I cut 3 slots at different angles into the stage area for the acetate strips that hold the poppies and cauldron.
A closer look at how I attached the acetate strips to underneath the stage.  Once I had the elements in place, I cut the underneath part in two, folded them in opposite directions and added tape across these legs to secure them to the stage floor.

I off-set the 2 'Eternal Flame' die-cuts, glued them together to give a more dimensional effect, then attached them to the acetate strip.  Make sure you add the glitter card flame to the strip as well.
