Sugar Lump Studios

Art by Nancy Maxwell James

{Gypsy Gothic Arch}

January 13, 2008

This weeks theme at Gothic Arches is “Gypsy”. I tried to use colors that I don’t normally do – red mainly. Stamps are Anna Griffin and Hero Arts. Tim Holtz alcohol and distress inks were used on the tag, lace ran through the hole. Prima flower accents. I selected text from one of my favorite Stevie Nicks tunes – “Gypsy”…

    Love this beautiful arch! Red is such a fun & powerful color. I really like how you've used a tag on this fabulous arch. Of course I love Stevie! I'll tell ya a secret, I've always intended to have this song played at my funeral.
