Along with seeing some fabulous Halloween creations from the HSE Sweeties, there is also a HIDDEN (well, semi-hidden) HSE Promo Code. To get the code, you follow the blog hop and collect the "hidden" letter from each blog. The letters will spell a word that will give you 25% of EVERYTHING in the Hope Stamps Eternal store!! That includes the Clearance and all the NEW products we just received! (Pre-Order items excluded.) Promo Code will need to be in All Caps and the sale will be Oct 24th - 27th!
AND, it wouldn't be a blog hop without some sweet treats right? So, one of the HSE Sweeties is also a Secret Sweet Treat Stop!! So, be sure to comment on all the blogs, we will choose a random winner from a random blog Sunday night at 8pm Pacific. If you came my way via Colleen, you are on the right track. If not, you can go back to Rachel's blog and start from the beginning.
My card uses the SPOOKY and totally fun Crow Gate image from Inkadinkado. I embossed it in black and then did some sponging to make the moon and the yellow highlighting. I almost never do this, but with this Halloween card I thought it would look cool. The DP is Basic Grey, Eerie. What FUN this paper is!! I used Beate's Weekend sketch #98 for the layout.
Oh and see all the BLING? I finally remembered to use my Zva Creative clear swirls! I removed the last rhinestone on the ends and replaced it with colored rhinestones from Zva's Crystal Dots. The sentiment is computer generated, I used the Matisse ITC font (comes standard with Word), and the purple cardstock is from Core'dinations. I sanded it a bit and the white showed thru -cool!!
Well, thanks for stopping by, now head on over to NATALIE's blog for some more spooky stuff and the next letter!!
