"Celtic" was today's Gothic Arch challenge.
My arch began as a black and white image from Artella which I adjusted and recolored in Photoshop and printed onto glossy brochure paper. Next, I added the rub-on architectural columns from 7 Gypsies, the rub-on half-circle design element from Anna Griffin which connects the arches, and the rub-on bird and the circular flower element above the bird which are from BasicGrey. I stamped the Celtic angel onto a scrap of glossy brochure paper with Staz-On and colored him with Marvy markers. The border is German scrap.
Very impressive arch! It glows like a stained glass window.
Creatively Yours, Laura

Fabulous arch, Barbara! Must admit when I first saw it, it reminded me of a stained glass window, too!

Once again you have come up with the unexpected, at least in my eyes. Just wonderful and I agree it does look like a stain glass window. when I first looked at it I thought it was a transparency, love your process.
