Here is my offering.
I stippled.......like that word makes a change from swooshing!.......the background using a cheapo shaving brush with DI's Spiced Marmalade and Shabby Shutters then spritzed some copper glimmery mist which miraculously I seem to have captured again on film!! LOL
.....stamped the clock in Impress chocolate.....the sentiment in DI Fired Brick and embossed the chandelier with disco black......dabbed some Adirondack dimensional acrylic in terra cotta onto the scroll and stamped bits near the top and bottom.....tattered the edges with my scissors and used Walnut Stain around the edges..........word fragments stamped onto a piece of same background and edged with DI WS.
Not too sure this is finished quite as I am hoping to join in with a few more Gothic arches this month and depending on how many perhaps turn it into a triptych or a book or maybe this will be the only one in which case it might be the cover of a little journal book.....who knows?!
.........I have such good intentions LOL.
Thanks for looking

P.S. As a bit of fun I've added a vote widget about Distress Ink colour matched ribbons on the side bar.....closes end Jan

A gorgeous tag, I love the gothic arches.
ReplyDeleteYour colours are brilliant, they work so well together and the sentiment is perfect.
Love the idea of a book made out of them. A great keepsake.
