Twilight Tuesday --a day early!

Hey everyone! I'm celebrating Twilight Tuesday a day early! So here is my card! I used a picture of Edward and Bella that I found online. Someone had altered it slightly to where it looked like

it had been sketched. Pretty cool looking. So I saw this awesome tutorial on how to create faux flourishes and I just had to try. I didn't use a template or anything, I just freehanded this design. I wanted it to wrap up and touch the photo on each side. Then I chose one of my favorite quotes from the series: "Today is the first and last day of forever." I love it. Wouldn't this make a great romantic birthday card or a card for a wedding? I also used my Tim Holtz distress Ink "old paper" to make the sentiment match the paper behind it.
