Hello again friends,
I'm back with a card for this week's Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge:
I had not heard of this movie before, but the trailer for this movie won me over. If you haven't seen this movie, please take a minute to watch the trailer:
I found the movie, rented it, & watched it with my neighbor. We both really liked this movie!!! I could relate to the mom, Lizzie, in ways I can't get into, but it's such a goooooood movie. Really, it's touching, moving, & oh so well done. In the beginning, I had to really listen closely because of the accent, but after a while my ears adjusted :) I do have some questions though, but that's for another time. (Don't want to spoil anything :)
Anyhoo, here's my card:
If you've seen the movie, you know where my inspiration came from. Frankie collected the stamps his "dad" sent him in a book & he kept track of all the ports his dad had been on a map he kept on the wall. So I recreated his book. I printed some stamps, cut them out & adhered them to his book. I added a little map of Scotland (which is also the background paper under the book.) The book itself has 3 layers that are popped up with foam tape in between.
Thanks for peeking & your homework this weekend is to treat yourself to Dear Frankie :)

Beautiful card Karli. I will have to check out the movie. I'm telling you, I think I'm getting old cause I can never make out what they are saying in movies even without an accent. I always watch with the captions on, LOL!
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the challenge, Karli! You have me ready to see the movie now, too! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteI love how you make this book with the stamps and map. Great card!
ReplyDeleteI never heard of this movie either.
ReplyDeleteYour card is magnificent. Love how you made the book.
Karli - this is awesome! I LOVE the book and stamp and map combination - how absolutely lovely! I am so glad that you watched this movie and like it too - little Frankie and his mom just touched my heart :) I adore how you put all of these elements into this awesome card!!! Thanks so much for playing along with the CInema Saturday challenge :)!
ReplyDeleteBig hugs Karli,

Karli,
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got a chance to play.. I am glad you liked the movie. It's one of my most favorites. I think we all can relate to wanting to protect our children from any harm at all no mater what it is. Jut give them the strength to grow and learn. I love that you made Frankie's little stamps collection.. And great use of the Scottish map. The layering of the book creates a great effect.
Thanks for joining us this week.
HUGS
