Laura gets pretty creeped out
by spiders, so when she stamped "something wicked this way comes" with
that $1 stamp and white chalk ink, she really meant it! She also used
that ink and a Stencil Brush with the LJ 816 Spider Web Stencil
to created the pattern on gray mulberry. She then stitched over most
of the web (yes, by hand, but it was not difficult because the pattern
was already there). This also secured the mulberry paper to the
distressed Core'dinations card stock. The LS 28 Spider Stencil was embossed with Glossy Black Embossing Paste.
It looks a little "furry" on the edges because the stitching raised the
stencil off of the background a little. The gem was added while the
paste was still wet. Here is a closer look at that evil spider:
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!

Ooh, defiantly a creepy card. Not a spider fan myself either Laura. They are fantastic little creatures, at a distance LOL. It looks too real with that glossy paste. Hugz
The stitching looks amazing! What a wonderful card!
Beautiful spider! I LOVE the stitched web! So gorgeous. Wonderful make!~kim
All those stitches! Fabulous! And loving the spider with the red I have been trying to get something red to show up on my spider's backs all month long! This is freaky and wonderful!
The glossy black embossing paste sure makes the spider realistic, the gem is the finishing touch! I admire all the work that went into stitching the web.
WOW! that stitching over the mulberry is fabulous and the spider is totally gorgeous! Love this! xxD
That makes me shiver. The stitching looks fabulous. I actually was cleaning our yard a fer years back and met up with a black widow spider. It was a baby though. They are unusual this far south. We usually get the brown recluse. Equally creepy, but definately not as pretty.
Now that's a spooky card!! Great effect with the shiny black widow on the web!
I don't think I really even wanted a closer look at that creepy spider!!!! EEEEEK!!!! This card is way too realistic with that brilliant web stitched like that on mulberry paper and the jewel on the abdomen of that monster. (shudder...) I don't do crawlies! :o Fabulous work!!
