The Dream Team are dipping their fingers into all things spooky, creepy, and scary, as we play along with the Smeared and Smudged 31 Days of Halloween. The team will be taking turns to fill the quota of 31 days on the Dream It Up! blog, and posting on their own blogs as well. Be sure to leave them lots of love as this is truly a challenge for many of them! Here is today's post from Alison (who frankly, got us all into this craziness!).
Alison used the Jack O Lanterns stencil for the focus of her card. She applied glossy black embossing paste to the stencil once it was taped down, and added glitter while the paste was still wet.
Alison had just the right paper (from Martha Stewart) for her background, with a cool chevron stripe paper scrap from DCWV, She decided that she needed a sentiment, and pulled one from her Inkadinkado collection. It reads, "Smile you trickster." Perfect for these Jacks!
The carsdtock that has the sentiment was just plain white, and frankly, too boring for Alison, so she decided to use one of our newest stencils, the Chevron Background (LX 7026). This is one of our largest stencils, so she really used only a tiny piece around her sentiment, but it was just what the doctor ordered.
The Smeared and Smudged site is offering prizes each day of the month by a long list of sponsors...Dreamweaver being one of them, but we are also offering one stencil (our choice) to one lucky commenter on the Dream It Up! blog each day of the month! So, leave your comment below before heading over the Smeared and Smudged blog to view all of the other creepiness! The full list of the Wicked Bloggers is over on in our side bar.

Love that you can emboss without a heat gun (on my to buy list)! All the elements in the lay out especially the use of the chevron stamp on the sentiment are spot on and wonderful! Awesome start for day one!

So cute love glittery pumpkins!
