Remembrance Day Poppies - Thinking of You

Hello, everyone!  Today I am sharing a poppy-themed thinking-of-you card.  I was inspired by Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge 189, whose theme is Poppies and Panels, as well as Simon Says Stamp Wednesday's Thinking of You challenge.  We just celebrated Canada's Remembrance Day yesterday, so these challenge themes were timely and much appreciated. 

I fussy-cut the poppy, label, and poppy-patterned panel from a collage sheet printable from the Facebook group called Free Printables for your Junk Journaling with TLC (thank you for remembering Canada, Paulette!).  

The butterfly is a die, which I cut twice so I could paper-piece the body.  I made the thinking-of-you sentiment in Microsoft Word and layered it onto a white scrap.  After adhering everything onto the poppy paper, I layered the panel onto black cardstock and then on a white card base.  

Here's the inside of my card, where I added a leftover scrap of the poppy-patterned paper and a punched butterfly, leaving plenty of room to write a message.

I also found inspiration in the following 8 challenges, for a total of 10:

As mentioned on an earlier blog post, I would like to continue sharing cat memes/cartoons in memory of my dear friend Janis Woolbright from Her Peaceful Garden,who passed away in January.  Janis loved sharing cat cartoons and memes, so I have decided to continue her tradition.  I hope it makes you smile! 

Thank you for looking at my card!  I will be around to visit your blogs soon; sorry for the delay!  Wishing you a joyful day!
