TRISTAN AND ISOLDE --- CSCC #67

This week our movie for inspiration at the Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge is "Tristan and Isolde".  The required element is a gatefold or trifold opening.



This movie is a romance, and a tale of warriors.  After watching it, and letting it seep down into my subconcious, I was most inspired by Lord Marke and Tristan's relationship.  Tristan was rescued and taken in by the Lord who favored him over his own nephew (his own blood).

My card is kind of a masculine card, and so I had a really hard time embellishing it.  So it's plain, but I think the sentiment is very appropriate.


The stamps for the sentiments, including the inside ("My door is always open".) are from Waltzing Mouse...the designer and owner, Claire Brennan, lives in Northern Ireland.  The "door handles" are hodgepodge hardware from Stampin' Up as is the paper - Temping Turquoise and retired dsp.

I hope you like this card and think it's a good match for the movie...which I LOVED, by the way.
