Cinema Saturday #17

This weeks Cinema Saturday challenge is the fab movie The Princess Bride. I must admit that I did not see this movie until a couple of years ago, though I had a fair idea I'd love it from other people's comments about it. It was great to have an excuse to dig it out and pop it on again.


For my card I decided to take inspiration from Dread Pirate Roberts... ok, so I can't pass up an opportunity to use this set! I left the sails white so the card wasn't too dark, though I dare say the Revenge had all black sails. I've paper-pieced the hull of the ship, stamping it on a piece of Ginger Blossom paper (I wanted to include some of this red for a dress Buttercup wears), trimmed and then stuck it on over the hull as stamped on the White. The Soft Sky background is inspired by another of Buttercup's dresses (you just can't get me away from the costumes... speaking of which I rediscovered The Costumer's Guide To Movie Costumes, great for checking out the costumes without having to pause the dvd, and there are often additional shots though we probably don't need that much detail for cardmaking...), the silver flower represents Buttercups wedding crown, she's got pearls on a number of her dresses, and the sentiment should be self-explanitory :)
