Colour Dare 331 - Poppy Sympathy Card

Welcome to Colour Dare and Challenge #331!

I had a different card prepared for this challenge when earlier this week, the man of an elderly couple who I visit each week suddenly passed away. This couple lived very simply and they have lost two sons in the service already so they have poppies in various places in their home as a remembrance to them. I thought it would be suitable on this sympathy card to use a poppy - it just seemed like the right thing to do. His funeral service will be a military service as he was a WW2 veteran - and just turned 101 years old! How remarkable... 

I embossed the white background of the card using Versamark ink and clear detail embossing powder using a poppy image. Other than that, the rest of the details are self-explanatory.
