Sassy Studio Designs August Release!

Good morning and welcome to the Sassy Studio Designs Vicious Villain Honeys Release and Blog Hop! We are releasing some amazing images today, all of who are Villains! That's right, it's time to bring out our 'bad' sides and create! You are going to love this release, in fact you are going to need every villain and their corresponding honey image (if we have one!)!

If you arrived here from Starla, you are on the right track! If not, head on over to the SSD Blog so you don't miss out on any of the fun!

For my card today I got the joy of working with the villainous image, "Maleficent" from Sleeping Beauty! I just loved this image when I saw it, but to be honest, she is SO intimidating. I mean look at her! Does she look happy and sweet? I wanted to create a creepy card, but I also wanted to stay true to the character so for my sentiment, I used one of her memorable lines to me from the movie. In fact she practically yelled this line, but it was a wonderfully wicked moment in the film.

Today we are also asked to share what our favorite Disney movie is and MAN was that a hard question to answer! I am going to say that Anastasia is my favorite, I don't know what it is, but the music, the storyline, it just all works together and the images are just so nice. What is your favorite Disney movie? There are just so many to pick from, it is a hard question to answer for sure! In fact, if I had been asked this question growing up my answer would have been Sleeping Beauty, I saw it probably 50 times!

EDITED TO ADD: It seems that Anastasia is not a Disney movie, I had no idea! Which means I refer back to my previous statement about Sleeping Beauty being my favorite :)

I also added some two toned ribbon and some pearls and rhinestones to finish it all off.
