I could not resist the Drunken Stampers’ challenge this week. As soon as I saw “Monty Python” I was hooked. The challenge was to use “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” in a card and, for the truly brave of heart, to also include a “rabbit” theme.
This is my all-time favorite quote from the movie (possibly from any movie): the knight insists “It’s just a flesh wound” after having his arms hacked off in possibly the funniest movie fight scene in history. For the “knight”, I found this cute little rabbit from a Richard Scarry book I’ve had sitting on my craft shelf for ages. I drew the wild bore insignia on his little suit jacket. A little red glitter-glue blood and I don’t think it could be better.
Instead of keeping it in my ICAD quote collection, I had to put this one in a little frame and give it away to someone who would appreciate it.
This was so much fun… I have to find more of these challenges.
UPDATE: This is the coolest thing ever- I won the challenge with this one. I’m SO, SO, SO excited!! Here it is on their blog: http://drunkenstampers.wordpress.com/2013/06/25/life-of-the-party-winner-challenge-132-monty-python-the-holy-grail/
