Mixed Media Monday : the written word

My entry for this week's Mixed Media Monday challenge is a quote i found in an old children's book. The theme this week is "the written word" so i scoured some poetry books looking for something suitable. And found nothing. So this little verse fit the bill instead.

It is a bit different than the one my mother said to my sister and i about not letting the bugs bite!

Good night,

Sleep tight,

Wake up bright,

In the morning light,

To do what's right,

With all your might.

I used two coordinating scrapbook papers - one that conveniently had assorted stripes - so they were easy to cut out the borders. The whole piece is done on the back of an 8 by 10" stretched canvas, which creates a shadow box effect. I did one of these before you can read about it here. There are really fun and easy - try it yourself!
