There's a Fairy at the Bottom of my Arch!


Or is there?

This is for the challenge at Gothic Arches which is to make a fantasy Arch.

The base is the back of a pre-printed card I got in a kit ages ago, images are from Lisa's Altered Art, letters cut with my new Quickutz 'Squeeze', flourishes (make unknown) and tiny key (Magenta) were stamped with Encore Ultimate Metallic 'Silver' which was also used to distress the edges. A few dabs of Stickles and a little star charm on a chain are the final touches.

Fly me to the Moon


"and let me float among the stars" is what it says on the stamp I used to make this tag for the challenge at Ink on My Fingers.

The moon stamp is by Crafty Individuals and I used Versafine 'Majestic Blue' and holographic EP. For the tag I distressed it with the same Versafine, Tim Holtz Distress Ink 'weathered wood' and Encore Ultimate Metallic 'Silver' using some Cut n Dry Foam. The stamp I used for the backing was by Anita's and was stamped in 'weathered wood'. Three small charms attached with toning metallic thread was the final touch.

Introducing Esmeralda ...


or at least that's what I call her. She's my very first attempt at a Gothic Arch and the challenge here was 'Gypsies'.

I started by printing the backing onto some card and then I cut out the arch shape. I then distressed it with Stazon 'Timber Brown' and Encore Ultimate Metallic 'Gold' before attaching the picture of Esmeralda.She was one of several old images I have on my computer and I have absolutely no idea where she came from. Then I stamped a few flourishes in the same two inks as I used to distress and finished it off with a little coin embellishment to match those in her head-dress which I had highlighted with a Sakura metallic pen.
