Because I love Pride & Prejudice so much when PTI came out with the set Simply Jane I HAD to purchase it... no question. For my card I inked up the image using Memento Summer Sky for Mr. Darcy and Memento Angel Pink for Lizzie and then stamped them in the bottom right corner of my card. The sentiment (from the scene where Mr. Darcy simultaneously expresses his love for Lizzie and insults her!) was stamped to slightly overlap onto Mr. Darcy. I added a few sequins because they are relatively flat... hope Chrissie doesn't mind! (With the addition of the sequins you could almost stretch this card to cover another of my favorite movies... How to Marry a Millionaire. Mr. Darcy was quite rich you know, lol!)
The second card is based on the Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks movie "You've Got Mail". It isn't exactly a favorite movie but I did enjoy watching it and I have this cute little mailbox stamp that I got from Stampotique that was perfect for this challenge. I stamped it in Tuxedo Black ink and then colored the image with Copic markers. The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set.
Thanks for stopping by...

ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more about P&P and Colin Firth (phwoar) as Mr Darcy. A lovely card and with that fantastic quote too.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely cards!
