Bella's Thoughts {TTCC2}

What  a fun week it is for Twilight Tuesday, this week's color challene is taken from Bella's thoughts and features Garnet, Phoenix sky blue and Forks's sky gray.   Aren't these colors just delicious???

My challenge inspired by these colors was first a bracelet and then I made another of "My Time Made Easy's" Cutesy Cover template for packaging.   The bracelet uses brads, silver tone chain and I added a little sparkle with some Black Diamond swarovski crystals.

 The box uses My Mind's Eye Bohemia paper in that lovely combination of blue and red, the sentiment was a gift from Jen (its from Verve stamps, thanks Jen!) I stamped it in gray, then added a few rhinestones for sparkle!  PTI's Aqua Mist ribbon ties the whole thing up for quick giftability.

And as always, our Design Team has fantastic projects to display for this week’s challenge - please go and check them out!  Tonya and Julie both taking some time off this week, but don't forget to check out Tonya's sketch challenge at Stamp Happens.

I love the bracelet. Where did you get the bracelet and how do you keep the brads from coming off? Thanks for your help. :) Lara

Thanks for stopping by, Lara!

The chain is inexpensive chain from Michael's in the jewelry making section - I'm sure they'll have something similar.  I used a round nose pliers (also known as a rosary plier) and simply curled the brad legs around each side of the open loop (so that the brad goes down through the center, then each leg is wrapped around the loop).  To seal them into place I used a bit of Crystal Effects (Glossy Accent) but you could use a little clear glue like an E600. 

If you can't find quite the same chain, you can buy chain with little round circles on it and then just snip the legs off the brad and glue (E600) the brad direct. 

Good luck!  Hope that helps :-)
