Sweet Escapes are Awesome!

Desert Island Crafters Challenge is sponsored this round by Sweet Escape Digis and the image I've chosen is Witch Digital Stamp.  I love her images as they're all wonderful!  The faces are so sweet and they're just fun to color.  Here's the list of items to choose from for this challenge:

1.  Turn something sweet into something creepy

2.  Use black, purple and orange

3.  Use spider webs

4.  Add some glitter/sparkle

5.  Use a die cut

6.  Use paint

7.  Tear something

8.  No pink

9.  CASE a DT Member

10.  Something metal

For my image I've used 2, 3, 4, 5,  and 6.  Remember, you must use at least 3 items from the list for your project.
