Day 31 of 31 Days of Halloween
"Trick or Treat"
Wicked Witch and Alice
Panel #16
 by Leigh


Alice watched the magic light slowly dwindle as the White Rabbit traveled the Rabbit Hole back down to Wicked Wonderland and sighed sadly when the hole went dark.  Despite her horrific encounter with the Queen of Hearts Alice had enjoyed her Halloween visit to Wicked Wonderland and felt quite sad now the magical adventure was over.
 
Suddenly, a gnarled robed hand appeared over her shoulder from behind making Alice literally jump out of her skin for the 3rd time that day.
 
"Welcome back my dear!"
"You look like you've been through a terrible ordeal, here's a nice treat to make you feel right as rain" cackled a wicked voice in the Halloween darkness that made Alice's hair stand on end.
 
Cupped in the gnarled hand sat a wicked apple that made her tummy grumble despite it's rather unnerving appearance.  The apple gleamed in the moonlight as green liquid oozed down it's curved surface.
"How about just one bite?" encouraged the disembodied wicked voice.
 
 Alice stared at the poison apple and felt the mesmerizing pull of it's swirling eyes.
 Screaming in her head she felt her arm raise as she reached out to take the apple.
 
"Noooo don't take the apple" Alice tried to warn herself.
 
Suddenly the wicked Rabbit Hole began to glow with intense light as a lightning bolt erupted from it's core and struck the wicked Witch.
The Witch screamed with fury and fled upon her broom.
 
Alice dashed back over to the Rabbit Hole and called down,
"Thank you for saving me" she said.
 
"Happy Halloween"
All her friends replied back in unison!
 
The End!
 
 
 I'm back for Day 31 of our 31 Days of Halloween SPOOKtivities with the 16th in a series of panels featuring designs from my new Wicked Wonderland Halloween Collection.  The panels will be stored in an ornate tin I'm altering and all will be revealed later today so do stop by again to see my finale post!
 

 

I coloured the Wicked Wonderland digi images in Adobe Fresco then printed and fussy cut them all out leaving a narrow white border to make them all "glow" and pop nicely against the background.  The Wicked Witch Robed Hand combined with the Poison Apple I had in my stash already from a past 31 Days of Halloween.
 
  
Using the keyhole template I made based on the ornate tin I'm altering, I cut the shape of the main panel from heavy weight black cardstock and 1/4" smaller background mat layers for both sides of the panel cut from the Crafter's Companion Halloween paper pad.  I then edged all the pieces with Spectrum Noir metallic gold pigment ink and adhered them to the black panel.
 

I adhered the Falling Wicked Alice in place with glue to look like she's jumping out of her skin along with the Wicked Moon.  I then mounted the Wicked Witch Robed Hand to the panel with black foam tape.
 
 
Fussy cut from the Falling Wicked Alice collage I embellished the front panel with the jack o' lanterns, bats, a Candy Bat, alchemy symbols, stars, knife and the "Trick or Treat" arrow sign and the back panel with the "Happy Halloween" arrow signs, a jack o' lantern and 2 stars.
 

I added magical shimmer to the images with a clear Spectrum Noir glitter brush pen and lots of little details to the scene with glow-in-the-dark paint.  I also added glossy accents to the Witch's nails and the poison apple stem.
 

I added tiny Tim Holtz' Ignite Neon Alcohol ink dots to the eyes of all the pumpkins, then turned on the black light.
 

So spooky and pretty!

Day 17 of 31 Days of Halloween
 
"Once Upon a Nightmare"
Slimline Book Panel
by Leigh
 
 
I'm back for Day 17 of our 31 Days of Halloween SPOOKtivities with a bewitching slimline book panel featuring digi stamps and SVG Cutz from my magical Once Upon a Nightmare Collection, which I'm currently busy adding to my new store at LeighSBDesigns.com so keep an eye on the Re-Release Sale-bration section to see what's been re-released so far!
 
 
 My book panel also features the SPOOKtacular FUNdamental Foundations Slimline Coffins Nesting SVG Cutz set for electronic cutting machines.
Check everything out and more in my Halloween Sale too!
 
 
The drop dead gorgeous Wicked Witch Robed Hand with the bewitching Poison Apple steal the show on today's slimline book panel.
 
  
I combined both digi stamps in Photoshop then digitally coloured it in Adobe Fresco.  I then printed out the coloured image twice and fussy cut them with scissors.
 
 
 
From the 2nd print I cut out just the leaf, the Witch's hand and all of the sleeve to the right of the shadow and adhered them over the first print with black foam tape to create dimension and also to enhance the effect that her hand is emerging from the darkness of her robe.
 
 
For lots of magical sparkle and shine I applied Diamond Stickles glitter to her robe, the poison apple and the leaf and applied Glossy Accents to the apple's twig and her finger nails.


 My 31 Days of Halloween makes are going in a book I'm making so I first made a slimline 4" x 9" book panel from heavy weight black cardstock.  For the background panel I used a sheet of Crafter's Companion Halloween cardstock with a spiderweb and autumn leaf design and cut it 1/8 inch smaller than the black panel.
 
 
I then edged it with Spectrum Noir Midas Copper pigment ink for a touch of distressed metallic elegance and adhered it to the black panel with glue.
 

 
For the mat and layered Coffin panels I used my SPOOKtacular FUNdamental Foundations Slimline Coffins Nesting SVG Cutz set for electronic cutting machines.  The set includes 7 concentric slimline coffin mats and layers for making slimline cards, tags and more!
 
 
 I used the 3 largest coffin SVG Cutz to create my mat and layered coffin background and cut them out with my Silhouette Cameo 5 electronic cutting machine.  I used the largest coffin SVG Cutz to create my coffin background panel cut from Crafter's Companion orange glitter card.  The middle coffin is cut from black cardstock and the top coffin panel from patterned cardstock I used on the slimline background panel which I also edged with Spectrum Noir Midas Copper pigment ink.
 
 
For lots of fun dimension I adhered the orange glitter coffin mat layer to the slimline book panel with foam tape.  I then adhered the black mat and the top coffin panel to the orange glitter layer with glue.
 

Next I cut 2 of my wicked awesome Poison Drips Border SVG Cutz, which also works for blood and paint drips too, out of my stash of Distress Oxide Ink and Copper Mica Stain mixed media background papers I made previously.  
 
 
I then trimmed them to fit the top and bottom edges of the top coffin panel.
 

For lots of wicked oozy shine I coated both borders with Glossy Accents and the applied Spectrum Noir Midas Copper pigment ink to just the straight edges.  I then adhered the top border in place with foam tape for more fun dimension and the bottom one with glue.
 
 
Next I adhered the Wicked Witch hand to the book panel with a combination of black foam tape and glue to allow for all the layered height differences.

 

The "Once Upon a Nightmare" senti is from my faBOOlous A Wicked Compendium of 41 Halloween Sayings that is a must have set for every fan of Halloween!
 
 
I printed the sentiment out on to another sheet of my Distress Oxide and mica stained mixed media cardstock and fussy cut it out with an offset with my Silhouette Cameo 5.  I then applied Black Soot Distress Ink to the edges and adhered it in place with both foam tape and glue.
 
 
Every Witch needs her familiar companion and you can see hers peeking out from the behind the coffin panels on the right.
 
 
The kitty is from my PURRtastic Black Cat Silhouettes SVG Cutz set of 4 Cats which I cut from black cardstock with my Silhouette Cameo 5 then painted with a black Spectrum Noir glitter brush pen.
 
 
I then decorated the bottom left corner of the slimline book panel with a tiny Crafter's Companion spiderweb die cut corner, from the Happy Howl-ween die set, cut from black cardstock with double sided adhesive applied to the back for easy adhering.
 
 
I completed today's slimline book panel with lots of tiny die cut black bats from the Tim Holtz Mixed Media Halloween Elements die set which I adhered in place with glue then bent up all their wings for even more scrumptious dimension.
 
 
I'm loving the wonderful 3D effect of the Wicked Witch Hand trying to bewitch you with her poisoned apple!  Do you dare take it?
