It is the day we remember all Australians who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. The spirit of ANZAC, with its human qualities of courage, mateship, and sacrifice, continues to have meaning and relevance for our sense of national identity. On ANZAC day, ceremonies are held in towns and cities across the nation to acknowledge the service of our veterans.
I was watching the various services on television - Canberra, Anzac Cove in Gallipoli (Turkey) and France. They also interviewed veterans and told many stories of valour and mateship. It is definitely a day for reflection and with this in mind, I found myself making a card in memory of our service men and women.
The frame stamps are from Kaisercraft and have been stamped with Versafine black and clear embossed. The Poppy has been coloured with water colour pencil and copic marker and the centre hi-lighted with black enamel.
