I had a little creative time today and one of the projects that I made was this Gothic Arch. It isn’t a color scheme that I use very often, more fall tones” and yellow I rarely work with. Little bits of song lyrics, digital ephemera, book page, stamping, and collage images added. I always like to mount the paper arch on to a piece of colored cardstock and trim along the edges once complete. In my opinion, it gives it more of a finished look.
Hope you are enjoying the lazy days of summer!

This arch has been created in extreme neutrals to highlight the image of the little girls. I used various digital ephemera that I layered underneath the photo. The edges of pattern paper were lightly inked, and then white craft paint was blotted on the arch. I gave the arch a second mat by adhering it to cardstock and cutting closely along the edge. The lace was glued with Fabric-Tac and then buttons were added.
Song lyrics (Ray LaMontague) were typed in Microsoft Word. printed and cut out with paper trimmer. I glued the lyrics into place.
