My First Gothic Arch


Gothic arch is this week's Wednesday Stamper theme. This is my first attempt at a gothic arch. I downloaded the arch template from Bel's Nook but I made it into a card by tracing the template onto the fold of DCWV red cardstock. I trimmed the template to make the smaller arch out of My Mind's Eye patterned paper. I stamped and heat embossed justjohanna flourish left several times along the right side to make a border. The main image is a sign that I made by layering justjohanna stand left with justjohanna small bracket frame and "I love" from the justjohanna I love tea background stamp. I inked all the edges with black dye ink and embellished with a sparkly brad from the Target Dollar Spot and a black Prima flower.
