Sassy Studio Designs Halloween Release Part II

Good Saturday morning to you, hope all is well with you!  It’s time for the 2nd part of the Halloween release from Sassy Studio Designs.  This time it’s time for a little love for the Little Honey’s line, and OMGoodness Lindsay has totally outdone herself yet again!!!  And it’s not just one or two or three images, there are 14 yes I said 14 images!  And did I mention that they are amazing!  We are doing a hop with a challenge.  You should have come here from the SSD blog.  The challenge is to make a Halloween card using at least 5 things from the list that is on the SSD blog.   Ok, so I have the Little Honey’s Sally image, and boy did I have fun with her.  A couple of years ago, Lindsay did a Studio Sunday post with Luminaries that she made.  Well, I decided to make some of my own, and oh my goodness I’m totally in love with them and will be making them for all of the holidays.

The sketch for the card is from Deconstructed Sketches.  I colored the card image in copics and spica’s.  The papers are a mix of everything.  The ribbon is from Joann’s $1 bins.  The image on the luminary was colored and printed through photoshop, and then I punched a couple pieces of black glitter CS and put that around the top and bottom.  The edges are taped together using double sided tape.  You can find that post HERE.  Ok, now here is the hop order:

SSD ~ ME ~ Kathy ~ Rebecca ~ Julie ~ Regan ~ Kate ~ Christine ~ Fabiola ~ Karen ~ Kim ~ Rachelle ~

As you can see we’ve added a few more members to our AWESOME design team, so please make sure you leave them some love!  Now, don’t forget we will be chatting on the SSD party blog at 7 p.m. PST., that’s 10 p.m. EST.  And we so want to see your Halloween creations, so link yours up so we can visit!  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
