Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge 45 – Name Your Challenge!
Happy Tuesday! Tonya’s given us a fun challenge theme for this week’s Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge — we pick our own theme this time! Get all the details, as well as some news about our Design Team, here. Also, today marks the return of the lovely Margie to the Design Team after a brief time off, and it’s great to have her back!
I’m getting a little nostalgic today for this challenge! I thought that this was a good time to show you my very first Twilight Tuesday project! This is from October 2008, and was never posted here as I had yet to start blogging at that point. This challenge was TTIC3 – yes, 42 challenges ago! – and the theme was The Meadow. Days before this, I had learned about the challenges when I came across some TTIC projects in the Splitcoast gallery, and that is how I met Tonya and the other members of the then-smaller Design Team.
And speaking of our Design Team – visit them today to see the lovely projects that they’ve come up with for this challenge!
Alison ~ Dani ~ Donna ~ Eve ~ Erica
Jacquie ~ Jen ~ Margie ~ Rebecca ~ Tonya
So, back to the project. Because I love to keep things Edward-centric, I had to turn to Midnight Sun to get his perspective on being in the meadow with Bella, so I pulled out the following quote and used it on the card:
"Bella was with me there. She stared at me, rainbows dancing across her face, her eyes fathomless…"
I found a photo online that really represented the meadow to me; this is very close to how I pictured it while reading, although it’s actually a location in England! I love this photo and ended up using it on another TTIC project (about the Twilight villains) that related to the meadow. (You might have to look hard to find the meadow, though – click to enlarge.)
What I Used:
Paper: Bazzill cardstock
Stamps: none; quote from Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer; computer-generated using the font Edwardian
Ink: Versacolor Bisque
Accessories: Cuttlebug with Fiskars texture leaves texture plate; Stampin’ Up! ticket corner punch; ribbon; dimensionals; Kaiser pearls
