Celebrate New Moon...the Blog Hop

NEW MOON is out in theatres today and to celebrate this fabulous event we are hosting a TWILIGHT SERIES inspired BLOG HOP. Both customers and Design Team members were invited to participate in our hop and we have quite a list of blogs for you to enjoy today.

The only requirement for our Hop is that the participants must use Artful INKables stamps to create a project inspired by the Twilight Series. Some will be highlighting the AI Twilight inspired sets: Into the Moonlight and Fictionally Inspired. And others, like myself, will be showing you how other AI sets can fall right into the Twilight theme. Artful INKables is also sponsoring Twilight Tuesday’s Hop today and we are providing both the stamp sets mentioned above and a set of our Vampire Romance Themed Pewter Charms as prizes, so be sure to check them out today as well!

I actually have 2 cards to share with you today as well as one by my very Twilight-obsessed daughter, Alea. I made 2 cards because after I finished the first, I decided I needed one that reflected the New Moon movie more. Though I like the outcome, this first card is more related to the final book in the series, than the second book.

GREETINGS FROM ISLE ESME
Stamps: Paradise Island and Fictionally Inspired (Artful INKables)
Paper: Artichoke, Violet and White from SU
Inks: Brocade Blue, Ballet Blue and Elegant Eggplant were used to brayer the background, Black Momento Ink was used for sentiments and palm trees.
Accessories: Dimensionals, silver cord, Prima Flower and blue brad, Copics used to color in the image, Brayer used for background, moon was masked and white Gelly Roll pen used to create highlights and moon reflection. I hand cut the banner and stamped the words on by bending the rubber to the shape I needed it to follow...yet another reason I love unmounted rubber! (It goes where I want but doesnt get distorted!)

To better reflect the New Moon movie and book, I wanted to create something that brings Jacob to mind, since this is essentially the time that we get to know him better. The turning point in Bella's depression is when she goes to Jacob for his help in rebuilding the 2 motorcycles she has obtained. So this card is for Jacob:


IMPRINTED
Stamps: Road Rider and Fictionally Inspired (Artful INKables)
Paper: Black, Red, Silver and White from SU, DP from Basic Grey and Rusty Pickle
Inks: Black Momento Ink and Close to Cocoa from SU
Accessories: Dimensionals, Copics used to color in the image, circle cutter used to cut the top of the sentiment piece, silver ribbon

This final card was made by my daughter. She wanted to create a card the brought the new movie to mind so she created a replica of the cake made for Bella's 18th Birthday. (Yes, she knows the cake is pink in the book but decided to make hers like the cake shown in the movie previews.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BELLA by Alea Soboloski
Stamps: Birthday Best (Artful INKables)
Paper: Red and White from SU, DP unknown
Inks: Black Momento Ink
Accessories: Sharpies used to color in the image, Prima Flowers, printer created sentiment and Gelly Roll glitter pen
