Spooky Sweet Global Design Project CASE The Designer Challenge Card
Card Measurements and Supply List with the printable PDF with the clickable (Print Recipe) link for this project are found at the bottom of this blog post. I love Halloween cards and for last week's Global Design Project challenge card I created a fun Halloween card. We were CASEing a wonderful card from Stesha Bloodhart. I loved all the destressed layers and was inspired to create instead of a landscape but a Halloween scene with a blended background & using the punch out pieces from the Spooky Sweet Specialty Designer Series paper.
