Simon Says Compendium Challenge!

Well what do you know, Both Compendium of Curiosities and Simon Says Stamp'n'Show are to do with 'Masking' this week.
So i opened my Tim book to page 60 and had a play.
I decided on the web mask as i just love how it looks, I then stamped the matching webs over the top
I threaded some glittery cotton to add some dimension to the web and attached a little silver spider charm, {of which I just snipped off the ring and filed the edges}
The phrase is Utee poured onto a craft sheet from the meltpot and stamped into. I attached it with matt accents. I added some sari ribbon to finish.
***
This actually wasn't the first piece i did for the challenge, i started a canvas but i'm not quite ready to share it yet, maybe later in the week if i'm feeling brave.
See you tomorrow for a spot of desk surfing.

Love it Minxy! Very cool use of the spider web tag and the dream saying. Very eeeerie and haunting...but definitely very cool! Love the creativity in your thinking. :)

I love the sentiment that you used to go along with the theme of your tag! Way cool!

What a great sentiment to use for that awesomely cool, masked spider web! It's a dream catcher! SO brilliant, Minxy, and the cotton threads really like like the silky threads of a web. The stamped UTEE is amazing, too. This is just amazing and so clever-- I absolutely love it!
