Hello!

It's time for Team B to show their cards for Ike's challenge #142

The theme is "ANYTHING GOES" again, with optional Twist -

M O N O C H R O M E

Един цвят.

Много трудна задача.

Попитах мъжа ми, кой цвят да избера, защото всичко трябва да бъде в един цвят.

Той каза лилаво.

Вече имах цвят. Сега трябваше да избера едно от прекрасните изображения на Ike.

Това.

One color.

A very difficult task.

I asked my husband which color to choose, because everything should be in one color.

He said purple.

I already had color. Now I had to choose one of the beautiful images of Ike.

This.

My cards:

Freedom

And the poem:

Warning - When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple

By Jenny Joseph

When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple

with a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.

And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves

and satin candles, and say we've no money for butter.

I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired

and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells

and run my stick along the public railings

and make up for the sobriety of my youth.

I shall go out in my slippers in the rain

and pick the flowers in other people's gardens

and learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat

and eat three pounds of sausages at a go

or only bread and pickles for a week

and hoard pens and pencils and beer nuts and things in boxes.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry

and pay our rent and not swear in the street

and set a good example for the children.

We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?

So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised

When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

Jenny Joseph reads her poem 'Warning'

Thank you for your attention.

I hope you are inspired to make cards with Ike's images.

In fact, my first idea was to do something in black and green,

 in the style of The Matrix, but another time.

And you?
