Sugar Lump Studios

Art by Nancy Maxwell James

{Hearts Gothic Arch}

February 8, 2009

This weeks theme at Gothic Arches is “Hearts”. My arch features an altered playing card (background made with alcohol inks), vintage image, K & Company “Smitten” heart diecuts, pink lace ribbon, and glitter. I can’t wait to see all the “hearts” in arch form this week!

    You've achieved such balance in your arch – it's truly lovely! My first thought was that your card was surely colored with Vintage Pink mist – I just picked up tht shade a couple fo weeks ago. :)
