Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge – Our First Color Challenge!
Happy Tuesday! Twilight Tuesday has a really cool thing happening for today – our very first Color Challenge! The challenge colors for this week feature the colors of lovely Edward’s features. Alison is our hostess this week; check out her description below:
The first color is Butterscotch for his eyes (when he isn’t hungry!), second is Alabaster for his pale, pale skin, and third is Reddish-Brown for his fabulous hair!
As always, be sure to visit the lovely members of our Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge Design Team to see what they have in store for this week’s challenge!

And here is my project for this week – an ode to Edward. Hehe. It seems that every so often I need to do an ode to Edward, and this is my New Moon-era version.
This card looks better in person – I could never get an accurate photo of all the glitter! But see that glitter cardstock there? This stuff is the nicest glitter paper EVER. I transported this stuff home with me all the way from Texas! (Tonya! Hey girl!) During my visit with Tonya, of course we had to do a little crafty shopping, and I found this glitter paper at a store local to her. It’s the BEST – it’s sort of soft to the touch and the glitter does not fall off of the paper. I don’t know how they do it – you’re usually covered with glitter when you use paper like this! The paper is made by a company called Best Creation – look for it! Trust me – it’s amazing stuff – SO bright and sparkly! 
I only wish you could see the glitter better on this card! It is so very bright and shiny in real life that I had to stop myself from embellishing the card any further! I used a gold glitter cardstock (covering the Butterscotch for Edward’s eyes) and a bronze glitter shade (for the Reddish-Brown of his hair). Some Bazzill Bling paper in an “Alabaster” shade called String of Pearls stands in for that pale Cullen skin tone. That is the shade of the embossed background of the card.
I was absolutely THRILLED with this sentiment (Beauty is Soul-Deep) for Edward – does that capture him or what? He doesn’t seem to fully comprehend his beauty, nor does he really believe (at some points in the books, at least) that he is capable of having a soul. But we, the readers, know better, don’t we? Of course we do!
Thanks so much for visiting – have a great day!

Fantastic work like always! That glitter paper is awsesome!!! And you really used it well… I’m always at a loss for how to use elements like that. Your embossing is perfect and the layout is so clean… I really like it. And of course… that photo.. one of my faves.
