TTIC #55: Monochromatic Colors
Are you looking at that fabulous countdown widget??? Those are magic numbers my friends…magic numbers!!! I’m already starting to get very anxious!!! But let’s talk about the Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge first!
Today, Eve has issued us a fabulous color scheme challenge. We’re supposed to pick a monochromatic palette inspired by the Twilight saga for our projects. I’ve chosen to be inspired by the New Moon movie poster and use this color scheme by Bazzill (Bling):
I also used this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch (#113) for my layout design on the card I made:
I did not add a lot of extras to this card. I wanted that gorgeous Bazzill Bling to do all the talking for me. The images are from Artful Inkables Into the Moonlight and Fictionally Inspired.
While I’m talking about Artful Inkables, they just released some very cute new stamps. I’ve got my eye on Monster Medical…it’s really cute! The little monster with the bandages on his/her forehead is just too cute!!
Ok, back to my card. I water colored the wolf. Whoa. Backup, what? Yes, you read correctly…I water colored the wolf. I like my water coloring on the ‘nontraditional’ side and this is how I like it. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about ‘traditional’ art and you know…sometimes I just like stuff that might not be “proper”. So yes, my water coloring is darker than you might be accustomed to.
I used Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, and Creamy Caramel Stampin’ Write Markers (Stampin’ Up!) to do my water coloring. I also used Creamy Caramel for the paw print and Jet Black Stazon for the Wolf Girl sentiment. You know what? I’m not Team Jacob. Nope. Not one bit. So you Team Jacob girls, leave me a comment. I’ll throw you in random.org and send the lucky winner this card!
(Deadline is Monday, November 23, 2009. I’ll reveal the winner on next Tuesday’s post!)
Alison has issued an early challenge that is due December 1, 2009. Her wording is far better than mine so please…Be sure to pop over to TTIC to get the full challenge details.
Oh! I almost forgot! What are your New Moon movie plans??? This week, I’m meeting some of my TTIC friends for a girls’ weekend! Tonight, Julie is flying in. Tomorrow, Julie and I are going to meet up with Dani for lunch!! And Thursday, Julie and I will meet up with Beth in Austin. We’ve got 10:00 a.m. tickets for New Moon on Friday. I did the midnight showing thing last year… Never. Again.
Then, on Saturday night, we’re off to see my fake-boyfriend Justin perform at Stubb’s in Austin. I noticed on www.stepheniemeyer.com, that SM wanted a Blue October song on the New Moon soundtrack but it got nixed.
STUPID MOVE WHOEVER WAS IN CHARGE.
Now, go see what the other fab TTIC Designers have made for you!!

“Not one bit”?!! *gasp* *sigh* Nope – we are NOT having that argument again! LOL Beautiful card – that paper really does speak volumes with the texture and shimmer. Beautiful job! I like your watercoloring – I don’t see anything bizarre about it… just beautiful color!

See you in a couple of days! xx

@Alison, I am glad to see I’m not alone! I think we should start planning an Eclipse weekend since it’ll be summertime…for the whole team and TTIC friends!

@Tonya, If Wade and I are still together (fingers crossed) he has a brother and sister in Dallas, so maybe we could go visit them too! I would love if we all could get together. You all could come to Kansas/Missouri since Jen and I are up here!

@Erica, Yeah, definitely!!! We’ll have to open a discussion on TTIC and figure this out! Alison, Margie, Beth and Julie are all on the east coast in the same general area. But me, you, and Jen are in the central US. So…hmmm..decisions, decisions…

@Dani, be on the lookout for an email…I need to figure out where. I’m thinking somewhere along 635 and 75…how is that for you?
This looks great! I love the paper in the three tones. Great job on the watercoloring.

@margie c, believe me, I was gagging the whole time… No!! I’m kidding! Have you SEE those previews?? It might not be that hard to give some wolfie love..
Tonya, you asked about the images we’ve been using from TGF… they’re all digis, and they were only available for one weekend a couple of weeks ago. Maybe you could e-mail them and see if they are going to be for sale again! And yes, getting together for Eclipse is a great idea!!!
