Happy HalloThanksMas!

Can you tell that sometimes Dream Team's "Fearless Leader", Pam Hornschu, has a hard time deciding on monthly challenges? Since the team will be taking turns all month with the Smeared and Smudged 31 Days of Halloween, and we are doing a Christmas collaboration with Stampendous and Core'dinations the 13th - 17th, the confusion should be understandable. Therefore...happy HallowThanksMas! As usual, we'd love for you to play along with the challenge and link your creations to the Inlinkz tool on the Dream It Up! blog. Just in case you are wondering...NO, YOU DO NOT NEED TO POST SOMETHING WITH ALL THREE HOLIDAYS ON IT! However, you get bonus points for actually using Dreamweaver stencils and product on your creations! And bonus points might actually earn you an extra stencil as our monthly winner...just sayin'!

Here's my creation for today:

Okay, I have been dying to use the metallic copper paste on a pumpkin.  I have to say, I am not disappointed!  It is just as yummy as I imagined.  I went over the copper with crackle paste just on the body of the pumpkin and I LOVE it!  Talk about awesome texture!  Plus, do you see how cool the copper looks shining through the crackle?  You should see it in real life, delicious!

Here's what I used to create this card:

Dreamweaver Stencils© LL3036 Great Pumpkin Stencil

Dreamweaver Stencils© Metallic Copper Embossing Paste

Dreamweaver Stencils© Crackle Embossing Paste

Authentique® Papers Thankful Collection 6x6 Paper Pad

Cardstock by Bazzill Basics Paper™

Tim Holtz® Distress Ink in Rusty Hinge

Copic® Marker E08

Queen & Co. Pearls

Zip Dry™ Paper Glue by Beacon® Adhesives

Here's what I did to create this card:

Paste emboss pumpkin stencil on patterned paper with copper paste, set aside to dry

Once the copper has dried, replace the stencil and paste with the crackle paste, set aside to dry

Create an A-2 card base with a tent fold from brown cardstock

Trim patterned papers as shown

Once pumpkin has completely dried, trim to desired size

Ink over crackle paste with distress ink, also ink all edges of paper

Trim a mat from brown cardstock for stenciled piece

Adhere all layers as shown

Add pearls to card and color with Copic® marker

Remember to visit the rest of the team, as well as our guest designer, as confusion takes rein...could be interesting!
