Gothic Arch Challenge


This weeks Gothic Arch challenge theme was Celtic. It took me a while to decide what to do and then I ended up making two of them - I just couldn't decide which one to post so I posted both of them LOL. I used Stampin Up stamps (Lovely as a Tree set which I purchased from Sara at Time for Crafting) for both of them. On the second one I used some embellishments I made a while ago using Friendly Plastic which I think look quite effective. I think that the second one is my favourite, I love the dragon on it!

WOW WOW WOW Sally - what masterpieces - especially that second one - if you hadn't sent it off, I'd be down on my knees begging for you to send it to me.

Wonderful work - and my favourite theme (not that you'd know of course).

You even took your new stamps off their gold cushions and inked them up.

Hi Sally - thanks for your kind comment! I've enjoyed looking at your blog. Love the arches; they are very original. I've just discovered friendly plastic, but didn't know you could do that with it!
