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’! For me, I’m all about Halloween, of course…so I will be saving Christmas for the hop next week.
This was FUN! I started off with Dreamweaver’s Tree Line Die. I cut it using their double stick sheets, which I love. It makes sticking and glittering so simple. Then I started playing with photo paper. I took out my Ranger Archival Ink re-inkers and began to swirl colors. Here’s what it looked like before I applied the trees to the background.
I stuck the trees on, and then I stamped on some flying bats from Inkadinkado.
I added some ribbon from May Arts, and a little bit of glitter paper behind it to fill in the empty space. Pretty simple, but it gives off a creepy-cool feeling. Here’s the rest of the “B” team, that’s also posting for Dreamweaver today.

Wow- how different the background looks when trees are layered upon it.

I absolutely love this! That background reminds me a famous painting that my poor brain can't remember the artist of. Love the texture on the trees. Think I'll need to use this for a FB banner, okay?
