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

 This is my make for the DT team of 

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!
