Itsy Bitsy Spider...

The challenge this time at 613 Ave C is ATG with an option of Shabby Chic.  Distressed edges, burlap and a take on Art Deco = my version of Shabby Chic. What is fun is the twist of the image - a beautiful witch playing with her pet spider.  A big thank you to  Poppyseed Graphics for providing me this image.
There are some incredible paper artists on 613... I encourage you to hit the link and check out the DT's work!  And then let's see your take on Shabby Chic - or if you rather - ATG!
