These are a couple of Gothic Arch sets I have been working on lately. I decided to do a few sets to get the feel of the space and I had these lovely women just hanging around my studio. As some of you know I am new to Gothic Arches. I have discovered that they are good for travel. I usually do ATC's when I travel, but the Gothic Arch has turned into a favorite.
I cut out the arch. Then laid down some text. Lightly covered the text with gesso. When the gesso was dry I inked it with either a pale pink or antique linen. Stamped some. Made the border with my handy black sharpie paint pen. Then applied the women, birds and the final text. I hope you will click on then to really see them.

Elizabeth, two beautiful sets of arches. I enlarged and saw the little 'asides' which make them extremely amusing too. Bravo.

I think these are totally lovely. Once I clicked on the images to make them larger I was able to really appreciate them. Beautiful eye-candy!
You have given me so much inspiration with your ATCs and have been so generous with the images from the past. I just wanted to thank you for all you are giving us for inspiration. Imagine and Live in Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
I love these, Elizabeth! I've posted a link to our TreasureArtTrends group to see if anyone wants to emulate you and do a chunky book or ATC swap based on your idea. http;//groups.yahoo.com/group/treasurearttrends
