Happy Tuesday! Just a couple more days until New Moon is theatres!!! Are you as excited as I am??? There are a TON of awesome things happening over at Twilight Tuesday. If you’re a Twi-fan… them you are going to LOVE what’s coming up! But first, this week’s challenge… thought up by sweet Eve. She asked us to create a monochromatic card using a Twilight inspired color. I actually thought that this was a pretty tough challenge for me. I never work monochromatically. I love mixing colors together way too much! But I’ve gotta say, it really came together quite nicely! Here’s my card:
I had colored this fantabulous digi (Yes folks, I have tip-toed in to the digi world. Shhh! Don’t tell anyone I’m here!!!) from The Greeting Farm last week. I saw him and just HAD to color him! I mixed my own pearly paint using acrylic (Ceramcoat) and shimmer powder (Jacquard). The consistency of the paint is a little off, but I’m working on fixing it. Then it was all about the colored pencils! 
I love how it came out. I wish you could see the shimmer of his skin better, but it’s subtle…just how I wanted it. So after finishing, I wasn’t sure how I wanted to use him. So he just kinda hung out with me for a few days…Then Eve’s challenge popped into my head. Perfect! I can do this! Monochromatic card… here I come! And so it was born.
My other supplies are: paper- Prism, Reminisce. Tag- Basic grey. Brads- American Crafts. Ink- Ranger. Stamp- Artful INKables.The rest of the Design Team has come up with some awesome projects as well!Beth ~ Dani ~ DonnaErica ~ Eve ~ Jen ~ Margie ~ Rebecca ~ TonyaJulie is off this weekBut before you go,I have another exciting tidbit to share. As I mentioned, New Moon comes out this week. Well, I thought it would be awesome to have a layout challenge scrapping all the excitement as you venture off to see the flick! So you need to go to TTIC to see this extra challenge!!! This is in addition to the blog hops we have going on! See? A TON of awesome stuff is happening!!! But I don’t want to make my post too long, so PLEASE head over to Twilight Tuesday for the scoop on my Layout Challenge and the Blog Hop!!!
