This weeks theme at Gothic Arches is “Cities”…I selected “Chicago” for my theme because it holds a place dear in my heart. I met my husband while he was living there. While the city is not where I would call home, Chicago is a wonderful place to live and visit.
I used old vintage postcards reprints of the skyline, and added a flapper image in the corner. A small vintage postcard dangles from the bottom of the arch. I can’t wait to see what others select for their “city” this challenge. :)
I love your chicago-arch, Nancy !
Beautifully created !
