The month of October we have as our guest designer, Alison Heikkila. October promises to be a very creative month, you won't want to miss any of it!
Here's my design for this week:

LJ816 - Spider web, LL531 - Jack o lanterns
LS28 - Spider, LG749 - Doggy words

Here's how it's done:

• Paste emboss the Spider web stencil (LJ816) with Glossy White Embossing Paste (angle the stencil across the upper left corner of black cardstock)
• Remove the stencil and place in water for cleaning, immediately sprinkle the wet paste with Crystal glitter
• Let dry
• Paste emboss the Jack o lanterns stencil (LL531) with Matte Yellow Embossing Paste in the lower right corner
• Remove the stencil and place in water for cleaning
• Let dry
• Return the Jack o lanterns stencil over the dry paste and use small stencil brushes to apply ink over the paste (I used Splendor Ink - Circus ink pad)
• Paste emboss the Spider stencil (LS28) on white cardstock with Glossy Black Embossing Paste
• Remove the stencil and place in water for cleaning
• Sprinkle Metallic F/X powder Nouveau Orange randomly over the wet paste
• Let dry
• Cut out the spider as close as possible to all the legs, use a Distress marker in antique linen to color the white edges throughout the design
• Attach to the web with foam tape
• Use the Dog words stencil (LG749), a small stencil brush and Memento Tuxedo Black to stencil the "happy" from the Happy HOWLoween part of the stencil
• Line up the Happy underneath the first one and a little to the left, tape off only the "Ha" and stencil that, use the "pp" upside down to create the two l's (minus the round part of course!), then the "oween" next to that
• Use a deckle scissors to cut around the words, and brush the background with the left over black ink from the brush, mount the words on a small orange mat with a deckled edge
• Use foam tape to add the words to the card
