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.
These are beautiful Elizabeth. Great arches and radiant women - they work so well together. Penny
