I'm Not A Witch....



Hi All,

Its my Anniversary soon, and this is the card I have made for hubby. I have gone for funny this year. We both love the film "Princess Bride" We always quote from the film in daily conversations. ie, when hubby goes off to work, when he leaves I will say "have fun storming the castle", "true love - there's nothing like it, except for an M.L.T where the mutton is nice and lean" ...... I honestly could go on and on, there have in fact been times that we have managed to have an entire conversation using only quotes from this film.

In the film there is the quote "I'm not a Witch, I'm your Wife" I say to hubby all the time. So when I saw Krista's images I got the inspiration for this card.

I have designed the card using Seriff again. I love the creative possibility of using digital stamps within Seriff. I have combined a Saturated Canary digi stamp with a Crafty Makes digi. I have also used various digi Kits including elements from a polkadoodle cd.

Although this was designed digitally it was by no means a quick card, it took me a good few hours to design. Another 2-3 hours to colour, I have used copic's and prisma's. and then another 20 minutes or  so to create the decoupage elements.

I am really happy with the results, and I am hoping it will make hubby smile.

This is my entry for:

Saturated Canary - Love
Creatalicious - L'more
Crafty Calender - Love&Marriage
City Crafter - Glitter
Pennys paper crafty challenge - Anything Goes
Crafty Creations - Love/Hearts
Creative Inspirations - Anything Goes
Polka Doodles - Fantasy/Fairytale ( I hope this card count's, it was inspired by the story "the princess bride" and well witches are fantasy - however if you don't think it counts let me know )
Totally Gorjuss - Happy ( Happy Anniversary )

Thanks for looking
Hugs Juls

    The story behind this made me chuckle Jules (I haven't seen this film) Maybe I should get it lol It's just wonderfully coloured in and you designed it all digitally? wow very clever I don't usually do digi stamps but if I do I just print them off. What you did sounds epic! and I am sure Hubby will adore your efforts Dxx

    You totally lost me on the quotes from the film as I've not seen it but I'm sure it's good fun trying to outdo each other on the 'quote quota' each day.Great card though and I'm sure your hubby will love. Hope you both enjoy your anniversary.

    Hi hun

    I know it's a bit late for our anything goes challenge but if this is totally digital then you could have entered it at Digitally Sweet - just in case you haven't found us yet. I use Craft Artist all thetime for my DT stuff there and love it. Your card is fantastic and so 3D it is hard to tell it isn't a paper creation. Your colouring is just perfect and I love the sentiment.

    Hugs Ali x
