Simon Says Stamp and Show Us......

......an old wive's tale.  Hmmm....strange theme but I'm up for a challenge.  Not sure what the difference is between a superstition and an old wive's tale (if there even is one), but all I know is, ever since I read about the challenge I can't get the Stevie Wonder song Superstition out of my head.  Well, great song, so it could be worse.  But I digress. 

I did a google search, wanting to find a less well known tale to use as my inspiration.  This one appealed to me because while I am not particularly fond of live spiders, I really do love Wendy's little spider stamp.

What I used:

• the background is LuminArte paints, Egyptian Gold and Bronze Medallion
• the spider web was made with a Tim Holtz mask on white cardstock with black soot distress ink
• the compass in the center of the web is a Stampin' Up stamp
• the spider, as mentioned is a Wendy Vecchi stamp
• the old car is a Tim Holtz stamp
• the banner waving from the car is by Jenni Bowlin

Other details:

• all the stamping was done with Ranger black Archival ink
• after stamping the spider I went over it with a Sakura black glaze pen
• the car was covered with a thin coat of Glossy Accents
