This weeks theme at Gothic Arches is “Fantasy”. My friend Daniel had mailed me an embossed arch he had made using a recycled beverage can, punches (stars and hearts), embossing and paint. He makes the most amazing pieces with tin.
I used his creation around the edge of the arch and painted an old piece of sheet music for the background that was adhered to cardstock. Stamped the background with white flourishes and silver stars. The “moon fairy” image was then added. Accents of silver sparkling stars were added to the edge of the arch.
Really beautiful!
Wow Nancy this is absolutely gorgeous. So beuatiful design. Love them.
great arch!!!
Fantastic arch.
Gorgeous!

Such unique trim – a one-of-a-kind moon fairy! :)
This is just beautiful, Nancy! Very, very unique. I thought it would be fun to try an arch since I haven't done one before, but didn't realize that Gothic Arches is now a private webpage. Oh well, I am having fun looking at all of the wonderful arch creations that others have done for this week! Smiles, Jann
Brilliant arch, Nancy, love the 'tin frame', too!

Wow, I am so impressed with your arch and Daniels' tin background as well. What a wonderful colaboration!
Beautiful,love that about the tin.
Your arch is amazing! Love it.
What a nice friend you have. This is stunning. I am seeing all this through the eyes of a Non-artist, someone who has no abilities at all and I must say, it is all eye candy to me.
Lovely, lovely arch. Lynn F.
