Gothic Arches "Grunge"


Grunge is the theme at GA today. I covered my arch in texture paste, coloured it with cranberry and expresso acrylic dabbers. The image is from Shabby Cottage Studio Altered Children digi collage sheets. I put a stripp of embossed metal along the bottom to try and make it more "grungy" added some higlights with distress stickles, (they got lost in the scan)and added a few sticker embellishments and the text. Finally the arch was edged with a Krylon copper pen.

    Wow! You have captured the grunge theme beautifully. I really enjoy reading how you gifted stampers reach the final product but, if this is something to go by, it is well worth all that hard work. Standing ovation!!
