365 Cards Day 142 and ASD July Kit

Today the challenge for 365 Cards is Movie Monday. And the movie Pam selected was "Twilight." So the challenge is to make a black card, use printed paper that's mostly red, and use some bling. At first I was a bit nervous about this challenge. I've never read the "Twilight" books or seen the movie. But, I just went with the color theme, and made a card.

I used Bazzill for the card and K&Company printed paper. I thought it needed some more red, so added the netting. I decided that the netting needed some bling also, so used a metallic red pin, and then I put a black bead onto a jewelry finding and added that as well.

For my bling, I used this glittery book plate. I stamped the sentiment (Hero Arts) onto a scrap of the printed paper and placed it behind the book plate. Then I added the mulberry rose, which I sprayed with glimmer mist. I hope I did the challenge correctly.

Now for another Apron Strings Designs reveal. This is another sheet of the Little Yellow Bicycle paper.

Again, I had to think of what to do with this map paper. It was too cool to just cover it up. Then I had the idea of using it to tell the story about our move from the east coast to the west coast. But I did not want to blah blah blah with a lot of journaling. I think this does the job! I just added a few photos of California and called it a day! I used a Cuttlebug arrow die, and a Sizzix font.
