DMC Challenge - Piping Hot & Introducing Sidney Spider

Ha! This challenge nearly caught me out! I thought that it would be easy peasy as I have literally hundreds of pipe cleaners (don't know why - I think they are breeding in my cupboard) but when it came to put them into something resembling a card, I just couldn't!

I think the glass of wine must have helped because I then remembered this little fella I made last year and had left languishing at the bottom of a tub, homeless.

So here is Sidney Spider!

The Daring Cardmakers Challenge is:

to use PIPE CLEANERS!!

Any shape, colour or form - put them on a card! I know it can be difficult to incorporate Pipe Cleaners on cards (sticking them down is one obstacle!) but they can be put to lots of interesting uses too! So go on - it wouldn't be a challenge site if it was easy would it?

Although the pictures don't show it too well, the edges of the card and letters are edged with orange glitter glue.

And this is the first ever Halloween card I have made!

• Backing papers: Black shimmery card from my stash and also orange card from the same place
• Embellishments: Made by me from black pom pom, wobbly eyes and pipe cleaners
• Dies: Sizzix Round-a-Bout alphabet set
