When I thought about a scene card, I immediately decided that I wanted that to include some printing and cutting to make the background.  I started by drawing a rectangle in the size of the mat I would put on an A2 card and filling it with blue.  Then I drew an oval (for a hill) and filled it with green and overlaid it over the blue.  I knew that I could cut it down with my trimmer after it was printed, so I didn't worry about the part that was bigger at the bottom.  Next, I used a title and a castle from the Lettering Delights Once Upon a Time SVGs.  

Next, it was time for the prince and princess.  I used the yellow dress princess from More Happily Ever After and the prince from Happily Ever After, both from Lettering Delights.  I re-colored the princess' dress to pink, because that's what I wanted it to be. I included a screen cap of the way my mat looked once it was ready for the printer.

After it was printed, I cut it with my Cameo.  Then I layered the prince and princess in front of the scene (confession: they were planned to be farther over, but my printer was being a jerk and made a big smudge both times I printed in the same place so I just used the prince to cover the smudge.  Flexibility!)

I also inked up the edges of the sky and grass using some Distress Inks.  I used some stickles and a gem on the princess' dress and also a few gems off to the side of the card to make it feel more balanced.

I really hope you'll all take the time to join us and play along with our scene card challenge at Silhouette Challenges!
