Hi all!
I have some MORE exciting news today....I have been selected to be a member of the AAA Cards Challenge Design Team!!! WOOP! WOOP!!! They asked me to get started right away, so here I am with my first post with them and I hope they keep me around after this creation...
The challenge for the next 2 weeks is to create something SPOOKY but keep it CAS in style. I don't have ANYTHING in my stash for Halloween, which is surprising considering Halloween is one of our favorite holidays! NOW...I have to say, this particular card is not my normal type of creation, and I had to dig down into my mixed media stash for inspiration to create this card...I hope it's not too creepy... But when I found the sentiment in my bulk sentiment bin from Altenew's Classic Greetings stamp set (to be released in November and NOT AT ALL creepy!) I literally laughed out loud with how it correlated with the imagery...I mean, it could go either way, right?
I used some old Tim Holtz images and lumped them all together to form a little group. The little pictures of kids already lean a little creepy all on their own, but I amped up the creep factor and blackened out their eyes.... Seriously, what is wrong with me!! 😂😱
Keeping the design CAS, I mounted everything on a black card front and added some purple metallic splatters using the Altenew Metallic Watercolor pan set.
So there you go...my first post on the AAA Cards Challenge DT. I promise my future creations won't be so....out of the box? Creepy? I'm really a normal person......I promise!!!
Since it is the Halloween season, and I do love this card, I am entering it in the Festive Friday challenge using black, watercolor (metallic purple splatters), and spooky sentiment. I thought I'd add it to the Shopping our Stash challenge and the Four Seasons challenge as well!
Thanks so much for stopping by, have a colorful...not creepy...day!!

The fact those creepy dead people say "we're here for you"just makes it extra haunted ;-) Great card Kirstin and welcome to the team!
I love it when you really have to think outside the box for a challenge. From your fellow newbie DT I just think your card is fabulous and depicts Halloween spook-ticularly.
Gruesome, and spooktacular! Congratulations!
