Your task is to use fabric on your Gothic Arch!
Ideas:
* Create your arch totally out of fabric!
* Stamp onto fabric and attach it to your arch.
* Include things like buttons, lace, ribbon, muslin, hessian etc.
Jill Geraghty-Groves is back again to wow us with her example for this challenge (click pics to enlarge):
Jill says:
"Again, I've cut out an arch from thick chipboard. I attached a few layers of vintage text using Gel Medium, then painted over the vintage text with Ranger Crackle paints and sanded".
"I've then stamped a gorgeous Darkroom Door bloom in brown versamark ink onto a thin strip of calico and heat embossed it (not I held the heat gun on for a little too long at the top LOLOL!!). I was really just testing to see if you can indeed heat emboss fabric...and you can!!!)".
"I've then cut similar size strips of calico and hand stitched them on and finished it off with vintage buttons on silk ribbon. I highlighted around the flower with a little hand stitching in blue embroidery
thread, then attached a piece of vintage hand crocheted doily to my arch before finally attaching the stamped flower. Delicious!".

It certainly is delicious Jill! So very pretty!!
Well stampers, if that hasn't inspired you to get out your fabric and create an arch, I don't know what will!!
Please join me in shouting a great big inky "THANK YOU!" our Guest Artist Jill Geraghty-Groves for joining us here on the blog today and showing us her incredible work!

Gorgeous arch! I have always wanted to try stamping on fabric.
Thankyou for the inspiration.
Another great arch, thanks Jill for sharing your awesome creations :) I've been meaning to try fabric ATCs for a while now, so I'll start on the slightly bigger arch first & work my way down :)
gorgeous...never tried to heat emboss on fabric, should give a go
Thank you Jill for sharing your art.. Love your arch!
Oh this is so pretty and love the lacy bits. Now to put the thinking cap on and make this work.
This is stunning! I love all the small details that bring this card to a whole different level. The little embroidered accents, the heat embossed flower, even the slight singe adds to the feel. Gorgeous!
