New Moon Blog Hop

Welcome to our Customer and Design TeamTwilight Artful INKables blog hop! Make sure you start at the Artful INKables Blog, so you don't miss a single thing! To celebrate the release of NEW MOON today, we're highlighting the Artful INKables Twilight inspired sets: Into the Moonlight and Fictionally Inspired. Artful INKables also has a set of Vampire Romance Themed Charms available! Artful INKables is also sponsoring Twilight Tuesday’s Hop that include Twilight Prizes, so be sure to check them out today as well!

So here is my card! I had a hard time deciding what to do. I wanted to somehow combine the wolf with the tulip from the book cover. So this was what I came up with! I used the stamps from the "Into the Moonlight" set. You're probably wondering how I got the tulip so small. Well all you have to do is stamp your image on white paper. Then scan it into your computer. I used a free program called Paint.net to erase all of the image that I did not want (the chess piece and apple). Then I used the "magic wand" tool to select the flower and I saved it in a new document as a png file. Then I was free to resize it as I please! So I guess you could say I created my own "digi stamp" using a rubber stamp! I printed it out very small and then used colored pencils to color both the wolf and flower.
The gems were clear acrylic gems that I colored a coppery color using my Bic Mark Its! The background paper is a digi freebie from Lindsay- The Frugal Crafter. I just altered the color of the paper to a more natural color. I used my Tim Holtz "brushed corduroy" distressing inks to distress the entire card, even the paper.


I used this week's sketch TTSC15 and I also am participating in this week's Monocromatic challenge by using all brown tones. (with the exception of the flower, hehe)
