Sugar Lump Studios

Art by Nancy Maxwell James

{Snowflakes Gothic Arch}

December 4, 2010

The theme for the next two weeks at Gothic Arches is “Snowflakes”…just in time for the holiday season.

My arch was created using a Paper Whimsy image, small silver snowflake, punched snowflakes and pattern papers. A little bit of snow sparkle was added for some texture and a frosty feeling.

Hope you can play with us at the challenge site!

    Che meraviglia cara Nancy!!
    E' bellissimo!
    Mi piacerebbe molto imparare questa tecnica degli "Archi gotici", e riuscire a fare questi lavori…
    Complimenti sinceri.

    Finally got a chance to make an arch–I love this theme–can't seem to get my link added to the list, though. It SAYS that I added it, but it doesn't show up!
    Oh, well, it was fun to have time to create today . . .
