Sugar Lump Studios

Art by Nancy Maxwell James

{Gold Gothic Arch}

September 16, 2007

goldgothicarch

This weeks theme at Gothic Arches is Gold. I created an arch using one of my favorite images from Jamie’s blog – love her sweet little face. I used several different stamps in the process. justjohanna hearts, large scroll, and paisley heart – all with gold embossing powder. The buttefly wings were made on old sheet music and embossed in gold. A star charm was added to the top of the arch. I wrapped gold rick-rack around the entire arch to add a little glitz. I took a gold pen and added dots along the edge of the arch and colored in the little hearts in the background. Quote is “All that glitters is gold” and a “G” sticker was added to her.

    'All that glitters is gold'…
    I remember from reading the Tolken many many years ago, a poem written by Toto, 'all that glitters is not gold'….
    Great arch!
