A new challenge theme starts today at Stampotique it is hosted by the very lovely Kay and it really is a challenge!!! Here is what Kay had to say:
"My challenge this week is a simple one, but requires a bit of research on your part. Just as many of the Stampotique Originals' artists design stamps that might be described as a bit "quirky," so, too, was Edgar Allen Poe a bit quirky. He is a well known author and poet, living from 1809-1849. His quotes range from the romantic to the melancholy, and from the thoughtful to the murderous! The choice is yours. Allow yourself some time this week to combine a quote from Edgar Allen Poe with one or more stamped images to create something unique!"
I was familiar with Poe's name but that was about it so a little research was required to find some quotes of his work and my favourite is the one I used on my Poe'stcard ;)
The stamps I used are:
and Romantic Text
I do think Edgar had his heart broken a few times, poor old chap.
Wishing you a very lovely, warm day, Sam xx

ReplyDeleteLove your Poe'stcard Sam, very clever and love the Poesque quote xx
ReplyDeleteHugs to you and Poppy xxx
Your Poe'stcard cracked me up, Sam! It is pure genius! All along, as I prepared for this challenge, I was planning to use this same quote of Poe's, but at the last minute used another. This one is one of his more rational quotes, in my mind. It is perfectly paired with your Stampotique image to add both an anchor and a bit of humor!
ReplyDeleteLove it Sam, Gentleman Fox is the perfect Poe, and this is a fab quote xx
