Buttercup


The ladies at CSCC could not have picked a better movie to challenge our creativity this week! It seems The Princess Bride is on everyone's "favorites" list!  My card was inspired by our heroine, Buttercup.  I googled buttercup for some ideas and stumbled upon the lyrics to The Foundations 1968 hit song "Build Me Up Buttercup."  The lyrics fit with Wesley's (as Dread Pirate Robert) torment over Buttercup's betrothal to Prince Humperdink.

The card is a standard 5.5 x 4.25.  I printed the song lyrics repeatedly as a background with the one highlighted phrase, then just bordered it and added the flower (Prima) and dress (Cricut's Dreams Come True covered in Stickles).
