Sweet Pea Stampers Challenge - Remember

Morning - I'm back again. You don't see me for months and then I'm back almost daily!!  :D

It's Friday and time for another challenge over at Sweet Pea Stampers. This time we want to see cards that fit the theme REMEMBER. The prize is kindly supplied by our lovely sponsor Amy from the Crafty Purple Frog . If you're stuck for inspiration, head on over to the challenge blog, I guarantee you will be blown away the fantastic creations the DT have made for this challenge!

I've made a card using the gorgeous Marshmellow Dragon by Lisa Victoria. Now I can imagine that you're thinking "Huh???? What's this got to do with remember!!??" Well don't ask me why but when I saw the challenge title, the poem "Remember, remember the 5th of November" sprang to mind. For those of you haven't heard the poem it goes something like this - be warned you're also in for a bit if a history lesson LOL:

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
the Gunpowder Treason and Plot,

I see no reason why Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, t’was his intent to blow up King and Parliament.

Three score barrels were laid below to prove old England’s overthrow;
By God’s mercy he was catch’d with a dark lantern and lighted match.

Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!

Hip hip hoorah!

There is another verse that I don't dare put on here, but what should be remembered is that the poem was written in 1605 to serve as a warning to each new generation that treason will never be forgotten. Here in England the 5th of November is still commemorated each year with fireworks and bonfires culminating with the burning of effigies of Guy Fawkes (the guy).

Still with me?? If so, you'll hopefully now get where my poor addled mind went with this challenge!! :D Anyway, you'll be pleased to know that the history lesson has concluded and I'm now going to show my card!!

I created the firework background that the dragon is sitting on using a mix of Distress Inks, Prisma Pencils & Sakura Gel Pens. The image is coloured with Promarkers and has then been cut out and mounted onto the background.The sentiment was made using my Dymo Label Maker and some Core-dinations cardstock. It reads " I remembered .......... (and inside) your Birthday!"
