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 Lyn Bernatovich:
I'm having too much fun working with 31 Days of Halloween! Today's
card is all about creating a feel of distressing, depressing, spooky
and creepy all in one A2 size! I knew I'd be using the Stampendous Cling Tombstone Owl and ended up stamping it onto some leftover
background papers I made from my post on Oct. 11th.
Next I grabbed some Core'dinations sandables and dry embossed the Dreamweaver bat trio (LL525). P.S. be sure to emboss the black side as the right side up. You can guess why I'm mentioning it...
The beauty of sandables is it takes little amount of muscle power to
reveal the core; hence, you achieve the look in no time flat!
The
Dreamweaver Web stencil (LJ816) was also dry embossed on Core'dinations
sandable paper and quickly sanded for a very cool looking web
background.
All
that was left was assembling the distressed panels and offsetting them
for a shabby look. Once the layers were affixed, all the card needed
was my mix of Stampendous Fragments (purple, hunter) and silver crushed
glass glitter and the mesh ribbon banner (May Arts).
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!

Oh yeah, I should write on more of my embossing folders 'this side up'!!, altough leaving an embosed piece of card in them is an easy way to see what you are going to get which side. Love your card. Great image and I really like the embossed bats. Hugz
Wonderful card love all the distressing!
One of the best cards ever!! All those wonderful layers, the mesh ribbon, the curl on the edge, it all adds up to one super fabulous card! And thank you so much for my winning goodies! I did not expect such fab items and the card enclosed was good enough for me to be the prize!! Thanks so much and you will be seeing one or both of my now beloved stencils in the coming days!!
I can't get enough of layered cards, this one is brilliant. Love the mesh ribbon at the top and all the fragments.
This is a super-spooky and fabulous card, Lynell!! Love all the shabby layers that contribute to the old and creepy look. Eeeek!
Halloween isn't usu one of my card-making holidays, but I have been super-inspired by the 31 Days creations here. I pulled out a Halloweenish looking Dreamweaver stencil and got to work last night. It was really fun. I will be linking it up for the challenge. :)
Also I am hoping that the spooky random number generator will land on my name sometime this month so I can share in some trick or treat crafting goodies, too....I think! EEEK!! As long as they are treats and not tricks! :o Thanks for a fun month of spooky inspiration. Everyone is doing an amazing job!!!
