What a horrible picture. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd do a re-take, but that would cut into my crafting time, so nope. The castle in the background is a wood mount from Whipper Snapper Designs called "Princiess Village." I used CTMH watercolor pencils to color it and added some Stickles to the flags. Yesterday at my LSS I found the stamp of the princess and knight ("Good Knight Kiss") from Stampendous for 50% off, and I knew it would go perfect with the castle stamp. I colored it with Copics, embellished it with CTMH's Glitz Glitter Gel, and attached it with dimensional adhesive. In real life, the knight & princess area really pops because it's colored in brighter colors and is raised while the background castle is more muted. I also added a few little flowers from Recollections to the flowers already in the castle image. I added Liquid Pearls to the stamped and paper flowers to tie them together. The fairy tale-like sentiment comes from an old CTMH stamp set "Soul Mates." I would keep this set forever for this sentiment alone. I use it on A LOT of wedding cards.
This isn't where I got my inspiration for the card, but after I was done, the card reminded me of this recent photo of Neal & Jess from Vegas outside the Excalibur:
...and they lived happily ever after
