CAS(E) this Sketch #111 and Inkspirational #76

Afternoon!
This is my entry to the CAS(E) this Sketch #111
and to Inkspirational #76- challenge.

 I have a sister who LOVES Twilight Saga and she asked if I could make a card inspired by the covers of those books. I also went and looked up a few challenges that influenced me in a process of making this card. The sketch is from CAS(E) this sketch. When I saw the inspiration photo of current challenge at Inkspirational I was inspired by the ATTITUDE that girl has! Then I got an idea of using this Painted Poppy by Altenew. 

 I chose to use the solid stamp and inked it with Versafine Onyx Black and then heat embossed it with Rainbow Black Embossing powder. This embossing powder has a cool red glitter in it so it gave this card a little bit interest. I tried to be loose as I could with the watercolour background, I used Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolour set. I also added a little bit Black Soot Distress Ink on the edges to define them a bit more. I also added little die cuts around the watercolour piece to demonstrate the circle in the sketch. Stamped the sentiment also from the same Painted Poppy stamp set with black pigment ink and cut it out and adhered it with foam squores.

 Not really me this time, but I had a lot of fun being outside of my comfort zone.

 I will enter this card into these challenges:
CAS(E) this Sketch #111 - the sketch
Inkspirational #76 - I was inspired by her attitude

 Here are the challenges' graphics:

Thank you for visiting, I'll be back with my usual style next time. Have a great day!

    WOW - what a wonderful interpretation of not only the Twilight book, but of the inspiration photo! To be inspired by 'attitude' is...well, ingenious! Your journey outside your comfort zone is impressive; I think you have creativity in abundance, waiting to be expressed in as many ways as possible! Thank you for sharing your fabulous, eye-catching card in the Inkspirational gallery!
