I was surfing around, and as always I found myself at Brooke's blog...Designs by Brooke. She and another gal have this really fun weekly challenge, called Cinema Saturday Challenge. This week's movie inspiration challenge is The Princess Bride.
Unfortunately, I missed the deadline, but was still inspired. The Princess Bride just happens to be my all-time favorite movie. Couldn't help but play. So, here's what I came up with...
So much of the movie is based on "Twue Wuv" as Wesley's and Princess Buttercup's love happens to be in the truest form. It is just the silliest movie, and our family loves it so much. My daughter for the "kissing" and "romance", and my boys for the "adventure" and "sword-fighting".
Anyway, I chose rustic, non-tradition colors for the theme of this card. Very "earthy" since he is a "poor, yet perfect" farmboy. Much of the opening scenes are based around the farm, Wesley being very grimy and dirty. But, I also thought brown was also a very basic, non-elegant color, since he was so poor. Oh well, I think I put way too much symbolism into making this card. Really, it is totally symbolic of the movie, and I don't know if anyone would ever want a brown wedding card. LOL :>
TTFN,
Debi
