POE-ETIC Bloghop

It's that time again! Time for the Smeared and Smudged member blog hop. (blogroll below this post)
The theme is POE-ETIC! Since we're celebrating the great Edgar Allan Poe this month,it would be awesome to create something using one of his poems! It can be a canvas, a card, a scrapbook page, an altered item, an art journal page, etc. Use your imaginations. Also, don't forget the S&S rule that is has to be stamped somewhere (digi stamps are fine) – we love when you use Smeared Ink stamps, but it is NOT a requirement to participate.



This is what I made:


I printed the Quoth the Raven poem twice, 1 for the background and 1 to cut the letters out  (my Cricut did that for me LOL). I added the Smeared Ink  digi's from Quoth the Raven setto the letters and used 3D foam tape to place the letters on the background. I made sure that the text is still readable. Here is a pic fro a different angle so you can see it better. It does look much better in real life.



Hope you will visit all the other bloggers and leave them some nice comments, you can find the blogroll here:

  14. Well it may look better in real life, but it's pretty amazing in picture too! I would never have thought to pop up the letters like that and still have it readable, and the design is so powerful in its simplicity, I LOVE it!
