Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes Challenge - Aug 9 to Aug 22

 This is my make for the DT team of 

Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes

The  challenge for this month  is to take inspiration from this poem:

The Duel

(The Gingham Dog and The Calico Cat)

The gingham dog and the calico cat

Side by side on the table sat;

'T was half-past twelve, and (what do you think!)

Nor one nor t' other had slept a wink!

The old Dutch clock and the Chinese plate

Appeared to know as sure as fate

There was going to be a terrible spat.

(I wasn't there; I simply state

What was told to me by the Chinese plate!)

The gingham dog went "Bow-wow-wow!"

And the calico cat replied "Mee-ow!"

The air was littered, an hour or so,

With bits of gingham and calico,

While the old Dutch clock in the chimney-place

Up with its hands before its face,

For it always dreaded a family row!

(Now mind: I'm only telling you

What the old Dutch clock declares is true!)

 

I just happened to look in my stash and I found these lovely papers from the National Trust in the UK - so basically that is what my card comprises!

I started with a square white card blank and then added a square of red card then the two rectangles from the cat/dog papers. I printed the sentiment (words from the poem) and placed it on red card then dimensional tape.

You will find this on the Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes Challenge

Happy Crafting!
