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! 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. 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. You’ll see the difference when you check out a close up of Nice Kassandra. 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! 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! 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. I used a pink glitter embossing powder for this card. It makes Nice Kassandra even sweeter! 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!

Sugar says
I love how different they look! can't say which is my fav..they both are!
Susan's crafty chaos says
Oh Kassandra looks fab both ways, but I have to admit that Naughty is my favourite, lol, purple and green together just ROCKS 😀
SuzieQ says
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 says
Very nice. I love your two takes on the image/challenge. Awesome!
Stitchinwitch says
They both look fab, I prefer naughty but nice rocks too (and I'll bet she can cause trouble enough)
Juanita says
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 says
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! 🙂
Jane says
Fantastic love it
Luv Jane xxx
Tori says
I'm really loving your bright green and purple color combos!!! Great!
KC says
