I found a new blog called Saturday Stampers. Since that is the day I do most of my stamping, I thought I would try their first challenge (even if it did take me until Sunday night to get it done).
The challenge was to use poetry in your art in whatever interpretation you chose. I spent a while this afternoon revisiting some of my favorite poets ... e e cummings, Shel Silverstein, William Carlos Williams, Pablo Neruda, Sylvia Plath, Maya Angelou ... I finally settled on Dr. Seuss.
This card features one of my favorite Dr. Seuss poems in a stamp by Custer's Last Stamp (stamped in Chestnut Roan ColorBox Chalk). I used Sketch Challenge 89 from SCS. All of the papers are from an Autumn Leaves mat pack featuring the designs of Rhonna Farrer.
Have a marvelous week ... and remember to "be who you are".
this is super, and a perfect entry for the challenge- thanks for taking part! :o)
