Twilight Fang-addicts

I read all of the Twilight books, and I admit, I was underwhelmed. But when my friend Gabby posted her Twilight Fang-addicts swap an idea just jumped into my head so I signed right up. Of course, by the time I got around to this swap on my calendar, the idea was long gone. Preferring the shape-shifting wolves to a vampire any day, though, I am sure it involved this stamp.




The white background is embossed using the Cuttlebug and the Swiss Dots embossing folder. I was aiming for a snowy feel. One of my favorite SU sets, "Lovely as a Tree" is stamped on the angled blue. In an attempt to make the skies look stormy, I made Polished Stone using reinkers and alcohol on glossy cardstock. The photo doesn't do it justice. I asked my Main Squeeze where he preferred brads. He liked the bottom left, I like the top right, so there are an even number of each type. I even made an extra of each type for my stash.

From other swappers' sneak peeks, it seems that wolf fans are few and far between, but my SIL and her sis are true Twilight Fans so I expect I will get in return some vampire cards they will appreciate.

What do you mean you were underwhelmed?! ;) I'm still on book 3 so I have a ways to go yet. Great wolf card Gael and I love the pics from your shoebox swap! How fun!
