Irresistible arch!

Hello stampers!

Today's entry is a Gothic Arch that was created by Giovanna from Italy:


Gio says:

"I cut a piece of cardstock in a shrine gothic arch shape. I painted the inner side with acrilic paint. I lay the domino on the arch and cut the opening. I stamped the background by La Blanche Stamps with Versamark ink and embossed with white puff embossing powder by Ranger. Once cooled I rubbed blue, purple and pink distress ink on it. I glued the metallic charm and some jewels".


"I stamped the inner side with the same background stamp using purple Stazon. Then I stamped on it with an hand-carved stamp and outlined with white gel pen. I gessoed, coloured with distress ink and stamped the face from CherryPie Stamps on the domino tile and attached with Glossy Accents on the inner side of the arch along with an image printed from my computer".

Very cool Giovanna!

Speaking of Gothic Arches, our Inkurable Stampers 2010 Gothic Arch Challenge will be back up and running very soon! So if you're a fan of the arches, don't despair! We will return to regular programming shortly. :) Thanks for your patience!
