Cinema Saturday #32

AKA "All In The Ballet Studio".

This week's Cinema Saturday movie is the much anticipated "Twilight". This weeks requirements were the colours red and black, and sparkle - of course!

I had this idea for a spinner card of the ballet studio scene pretty much since I started doing Twilight stuff with the All In The Family set, however it wasn't until I started working on it the other day that I thought it all through. What Alice actually does to James isn't all that obvious in the movie itself, but if you watch the extras of the 2-disc set they do show Alice completely ripping James' head off and throwing it in the fire. I knew I wouldn't be able to include Emmet and Jasper holding James' arms, as one of their heads would be obscured by the spinner and look odd. I also knew Alice would have to be on James' back instead of his front, so we could see her face. I hadn't thought of what head I would use for James, but in the end there was only one option: he has long hair it's just pulled back. So for the sake of this card we'll say Edward pulled his pony tail out during their fight .

As I thought about the arangement of the card, I realised there was going to be "dead space" in the bottom right, with James and Alice on the left and the spinner going along the top. It didn't take me long to realise that having Bella laying there would be perfect! Bella is bleeding Riding Hood Red from the glass chunk being imbedded into her leg, and she has some Dazzling Diamonds on her wrist from where James bit her (which isn't mentioned in the movie but I just had to include it because it amuses me!). I've also used my StazOn "marker" again, to selective ink up James' jacket, James' and Bella's heads, and Alice's dress.

Here are some "action shots" of the card.

All In The Cullens

Technically this wasn't a swap... I whipped this up the night before I headed off (when I should have been packing) because I just had to commit this idea to cardstock, so I took it to show off and tease . People who haven't seent he movie Twilight may not get a lot of the details I included, and I also made Alice shorter as she is described in the book, but here are the Cullens Australia style - maybe they're even playing beach cricket! To make some of the bodies I decided I had to make myself a StazOn marker (made the same way as an In Color marker, though I gave an extra day to dry just to be safe), because trying to ink some of those bits with the corner of a StazOn inkpad was going to be tricky if not impossible (and extrememly frustrating!). I was very chuffed with myself when I found the marker worked so well, I can't wait to use it on other things.
