This is my card for the August Mini VSN. Melinda hosted a fantastic challenge to make a card inspired by our favourite poem. I remember my dad reading Edgar Allen Poe poetry to me when I was about 10. I was deliciously scared and fascinated at the same time and went on to do my honours thesis on the work of Edgar Allen Poe at university. I have always loved his poem 'The Raven'. This poem is a rich work, lamenting the loss of a great love. My card contains echoes of this poem in the image of the raven, the purple colours and the sentiment of love for my dad! Below is a link to Edgar Allen Poe's 'The Raven'.

That's a great story connected to your card. It's very neat. I love the stamp!
