SISC30: Trick It or Treat It! Plus the New DT! Plus Day 7 of 31 Days of Halloween!

Whew! That’s one heck of a title! Well, this is going to be one heck of a post!!! Not only do I have an “insane” (get it???) new release from StampInsanity to share with you, but we having a revamped Design Team! If that’s not enough, I have TWO projects to share with you for Day 7 of 31 Days of Halloween! So, let's get this party started!

First, I would like to give a HUGE welcome to our new Design Team members! We have several new Groovy Gurlz, and they all rawk! We’ll be doing things a little differently from week to week now over at The Asylum. we now have 2 Wards. 2 different groups of DT members. The Wards will be taking turns with each of the challenges, but since it’s a new release day, both Wards are banding together for one huge hop! So please try to visit everyone and show them some love!

Second, let’s chat about this week’s awesome challenge! It is to: "Trick-it or Treat-it" - (like "Naughty or Nice") Have fun with either 'trick-ing' or 'treat-ing' your projects with using any of your favorite techniques or a Halloween theme, etc... I loved this one so much, I made 2 projects! One Naughty and one Nice!

But before I share my cards with you…let’s take a look at the brand spankin’ new release that is available starting today in the StampInsanity shop! Meet the Devil Dolls!

DevilDolls750x472

This is officially one of my favorite sets from StampInsanity! All of the Dolls are awesome! So now let me share with you my 2 versions of Kassandra the Witch.

Naughty-2

This is my naughty version of Kassandra. She’s a little dark and devious. She wants to scare you. And her clothes her a little skimpier than “Nice Kassandra.” I gave her a sort of Princess Leia look. Check out the close up.

Naughty-1

You’ll see the difference when you check out a close up of Nice Kassandra.

Naughty-3

I used some embossing powder to add a little bit of metallic and texture. And did you see the bats? Remember the blood splatter on my zombie box? I had used those Martha Stewart cupcake stencils for that. Same with the bats! I used chalk to color them in, since I had gotten such a great response to the chalk in my Dance with the Devil card. I am so glad I got those stencils! Now for Nice Kassandra!

Nice-1

She doesn’t want to frighten you. She’s just out for a ride on her broomstick! As you can see, I kept the layout the same for both cards. Which not only made my life easier, but it added to the Naught/Nice thing too!

Nice-2

See the difference in her clothes? I colored in the skirt on this version, whereas in the Naught version, I left her upper thigh exposed.

Nice-3

I used a pink glitter embossing powder for this card. It makes Nice Kassandra even sweeter!

Nice-4

You can click on any of my photos to see them bigger. So? Which would YOU be? Naughty or Nice??? It’s your turn to play! Well, almost. First, please go and visit all of the fabulous Groovy Gurlz! Here’s the list! Remember, the full list will always be posted on my sidebar too!

She's naughty and nice all right. So glad you pointed out the difference - helps to see different alternatives for a single stamp. I love naughty better ;)
Wendy said…

Stitchinwitch said…
They both look fab, I prefer naughty but nice rocks too (and I'll bet she can cause trouble enough)
Juanita said…
Alison these are 2 great cards, love naughty Kassandra and thinks she resembles you with the red streaks in the front of her hair, lol. I love the way you think outside of the box with all your creations.
Beth said…
These are both so awesome!! I love the texture you put into the coloring - it's amazing! (jealous!) I can't pick a fave - the nice Kass is cool because she's got the devilish glint in her yey, but the soft colored clothing... but naughty Kass just rocks... both awesome! :)

Remember the part in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, when the song Silv...

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

Greetings! This is my second post for the day. This one is not part of the 31 Days of Halloween, but rather a super-duper blog hop that the Artists in Residence for Imagine are doing with Echo Park . So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one. There are prizes up for grabs, so be sure to check out the Imagine Blog as well as the Echo Park Blogs for details. I created my background by applying Dandelion and Tangelo Memento Ink to my brayer. Then I sprayed it with Ink Potion No. 9 to help the colors blend and to act as an extender to keep the inks wet longer. After I rolled the colors out on to watercolor paper and let it dry, I stamped the lovely doily-like image from Echo Park's Simply Sweet Stamp Set with Grape Jelly Memento. I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die  which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...

Deco Art and Andy Skinner Blog Hop Finale

Hello! It's time for the finale of the DecoArt and Stampendous blog hop. Have you enjoyed yourself this week? I bet you've got some new techniques that you want to try. I know I do! I am super stoked about my project for today. And it solves a dilemma that we've had in my kids' room for a while. What you see above is 2 pieces of PVC. And some fab DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics ! So, what am I doing with PVC, you ask? Well, my mom bought my son a light saber(Darth Vader's) for Christmas, and he wanted to display it, but we weren't really sure where in his room, and how. I wanted something cooler than hooks, and we thought it would be neat to have the light saber vertical, instead of horizontal. Plus, there was a fab spot for it if it hung in that direction. So, my husband came up with the PVC pip idea, and I altered the pieces. The end cap holds the base, and the small piece of pipe holds up near the end. And the 2 pieces are spaced out enough so that...
