The bloodied sun sinks in the west


And lights us all with glory;

Here sleep the brave in honored rest;

The bugler tells our story;

O dulce et decorum est pro patria mori;

O dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.



Go tell the people, passer-by,

Read the stone before ye,

Tis sweet and fitting that we die

For our country's glory;

Obedient to your will we lie

Pro patria mori;

O dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.



From under stone we've often seen

These lures to empty glory;

We know what deaths these words can mean,

Lonely, cold and gory;

We find these Latin words obscene,

Pro patria mori,

O dulce et decorum est, pro patria mori.



We have no country of our own,

We who sleep in glory;

We died your hatreds to atone,

Still you shun our story;

Oh write no more on any stone,

Pro patria mori;

O dulce et decorum est, pro patria mori.

Thanks so much

Hello everyone, thanks for stopping by. Today I wanted to post a pretty card where I learned a very fun  technique. So with the help of Sweet Sunday sketch challenge #58 , I want to show you my first attempt at sponging and stamping with its same colors.

To start, I began with 4 1/4"x8 1/2" Old olive cardstock for the base. Next I cut three Very vanilla pieces at 2 1/2" x 2 1/2". To get the neat sponging edges, I covered 1" of the pieces with post-its and sponged the edges with the color I want to stamp my image with. Very easy! Finally i added the ribbon and the sentiment from the SU! Seasonal icons set on the corner. I hope you like. Tooddles.
