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.
I kept things really simple for this card. I used one of my favorite backgrounds- the Damask stencil. I inked it up with Seedless Preserves Distress Ink and a stencil brush. Then I stamped, watercolored and cut out my pumpkin image. Did you notice that the pumpkin has a damask pattern on it? That is where I got the inspiration for this card!
I layered the image and stenciled cardstock on to a striped paper, and that was it. I didn't want to make it overly fussy, since the damask is so busy. A nice quick card that uses stencils in it's simplest form.
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!
