Gothic Arches Black white and red


The theme today at GA is black white and a hint of red. Nice change after Renaissance last week. Decided to do something slightly Art Nouveauish. The image is from a vintage CD I have as is the red butterfly. Arch itself done on black card and than stamped with Brilliance moonshadow white and edged with a white pen.

This is absolutely gorgeous! I love the lacy effect in the background, repeated in the doily and the pattern on her dress, and the butterfly is a very effective accent here. It's just a beautiful composition.

Just got a whole lot of new stamps from a brilliant place called the Stamp Smith. This is the image that I first saw on Docraft and really liked. I asked the friend who has used it in an ATC, where she got it. Well she borrowed it from a friend who got it from ebay as a one off. But.... it had a title. I googled the title, and hey presto found the site. They have great stamps and offer a really friendly fast service. I highly recommend them!
