Gothic Arch Inspiration - 21st Feb 2010.

Hi stampers!

Well, our Inkurable Stampers 2010 Gothic Arch Challenge is in full swing, with the first 3 of 24 challenges having been revealed! If you missed them they are:


If you haven't joined in yet - never fear! You can join at any time as the deadline is not until the 31st December 2010! If you'd like to know more information about the challenge, check out the details here. The 2010 Gothic Arch challenge is in addition to our regular monthly challenge. :)

At last count, we had 52 lovely arches in the group pool (you have to log in to see them all) and 31 people have joined the group so far! If you haven't joined yet, then pop over to our Flickr group and sign up! It's free, easy, and most of all, fun!

So, this week I have chosen 2 arches from the group to share with you all!

First is this stunning ATC sized Crown Challenge arch from group member "Smifferoo":

Arch Challenge #3 Crowns

Isn't it just gorgeous??!

Smifferoo says:

"I stamped the HRH with one of the stamps from the 'crown princess' set by Delish Designs. Little girl image by Crafty individuals. I added some german scrap, and a definition of 'Royal' torn from an old dictionary".

Just Stunning!

Next we have this gorgeous Crown Challenge arch by Vicky Fernando:

Crown Gothic Arch

So pretty!

Vicky says:

"The background was painted white, then stamped with white Brilliance ink & embossed with clear embossing powder, then painted over with watercolour paint. The dancer (Non sequitur) was stamped onto white watercolour paper, coloured in with gel pens, and mounted with foam tape. The "queen of hearts" is from Non Sequitur, chipboard hearts are from Collections (covered with Brilliance ink), & my crown (an old Studio Astarte clear stamp) was stamped onto shrink plastic using Brilliance pearlescent coral ink, & shrunk!".

Awesome Vicky!

I would show you more, but Flickr is being a bit temperamental today and driving me batty! 

Fore more fabulous Gothic Arch inspiration, head over to our dedicated Flickr Group and feast your eyes on the group pool!
