CCC#19 Compendium of Curiosities Challenge 19 - Extreme masking

Linda at L3Studio has set the Tim Holtz Challenge for this week as the Extreme Masking technique on page 61 of Tim's Compendium of Curiosities book.  I used a mask cut from the Scaredy Cat and Raven die and various colours of distress ink, then stamped the skeleton onto the masked raven.  Used some tissue tape at the bottom and a couple of paperclay skulls - took a mould from the skeleton I bought at Absolutely Everything while on the Tim Holtz cruise- AE is a fantastic shop, loved it so much!  I'll get back to blogging about the cruise soon.

What a beautiful tag, Yvonne! The masked bird is just magnificent-- what a great idea, using the skeleton stamp inside the raven. It's such a unique and perfectly spooky Halloween look! The little skulls are so cute, and I love the Poe reference! Bravo!
