Sugar Lump Studios

Art by Nancy Maxwell James

{Sparkling Wings Arch}

December 11, 2007


This weeks challenge at Gothic Arches was to create an arch using a “sparkling wings” theme. Today I had enough energy to sit and make this (one rest in between) arch for the challenge. It has been so gloomy, rainy and snowy here that it felt good to sit and listen to Christmas music and create.

The background stamps are Anna Griffin (music notes), Paper Bag Studios flourish and filmstrip stamp, various inks and embossing powders…the wings are from Nancy Dooren’s blog and I added some glitter to them with glue and dust. The sweet image is from Karen Ink. Words were cut from a text book.
