Happy Birthday Princess...

Hi there!

I'm up on the Bellariffic blog today because it's Scenic Saturday once again and I've got an enchanting birthday card to share with you. This pretty Oddball Fairytale Princess is all dressed up for her special day as she strolls through the fields layed out before the Fairytale Backdrop. The Backdrop stamps are always a great time saver when it comes to creating scenes for your characters. This time around I've manipulated the Fairytale Backdrop a bit because I didn't want the castle to land in the middle of the card, directly behind the princess. So after stamping and masking her off, I first stamped the backdrop on the right hand side of the card, using the princess to hide where the scenery ended. I then shifted the stamp on my Misti stamp platform and stamped a small portion of the backdrop to her left as well. This way I still had the mountains and trees extending all the way across the card and with her mask removed, you would never know that it didn't originally come that way. I also wiped the ink off the original path leading from the castle gates before stamping because I wanted to color in my own heading off in a different direction. I then proceeded to color in the scene using a mix of bright greens and pretty pastels, perfect for a princess themed birthday celebration. The sentiment I added to pull everything together is from the Princess Sentiment set and that was all I needed to complete this charming card.  :)

Stay crafty my friends!
