Submission for Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge #12- Twilight Quotes, this weeks challenge is hosted by Julie (JMB073). You can find more information at www.twilighttuesday.com.
So when Julie told me about this weekÂ’s challenge I knew right away the image I wanted to use and the chapter I wanted to find a quote from. My initial hope was to use velum on my card, however after wasting three sheets of it and still not getting the desired look I decided my budget couldnÂ’t handle any more and scraped the idea. I have to say IÂ’m not totally pleased with my end product, in fact I've torn it apart and started all over this morning, making me late to work. IÂ’ll be satisfied with it for now, I may do a more is more challenge with myself later!
The quote I chose is from Breaking Dawn, Chapter 3.- Big Day. “I tried to comprehend, through the film of tears blinding me, the surreal fact that this amazing person was mine.”
I really wanted to use this quote (same chapter) “In that moment, as the minister said his part, my world, which had been upside down for so long now, seemed to settle into its proper position. I saw just how silly I’d been for fearing this – as if it were an unwanted birthday gift or an embarrassing exhibition, like the prom. I looked into Edward’s shining, triumphant eyes and knew that I was winning, too. Because nothing else mattered but that I could stay with him.” but it is much to long to try and work into a card, at least for me. Both quotes evoke such emotion in me, finding the one person who centers you in the world, your north star and you get to claim that person as “mine”, it is so powerful.

Awww, man! This is so beautiful! As is often the case, the things that you see as flaws are totally not noticeable to others -- this card is beautiful. It really evokes the feeling of that scene in the book - I feel all mushy just remembering! Your notes on the card are great - I love what you said about the quote. Oh, Edward...

I thought I had commented on this card way back when I first saw it, but I guess I didn't...I don't know what brought the tear to my eye- the quote you picked, or your explanation of finding your north star- it's incredibly powerful
