This challenge was to use a line from "The Princess Bride" movie to inspire a card. After going through some of the lines, I remembered Westley near the end of the movie after he's been "mostly dead"....when Princess Buttercup finds him alive again, and he says to her, "Gently, gently" due to the pain he's in.
Ironically, I fell in a skiing mishap yesterday, and I've been saying "Gently, gently" to my family so they wouldn't move me the wrong way. THe thought process of skiing got me thinking about snow, and then the realization that snow falls gently too. Thus, the idea for the card.
I tried a new technique that I've been itching to do (the negative effect)...I wanted to see how the "snow" would turn out in the background. Then, I just started playing around with more of my cuttlebug stuff, plus embossing powder and punches, and this card is where I landed. I hope that you enjoy it.

Pretty and glittery! Good story about the skiing incident too. I went skiing once and all I can say is NEVER AGAIN! I told my hubby he can just leave me at the lodge with a good book and possibly a massage appointment, and he can ski or snowboard all he wants!!
