After taking a few days off to spend some wonderful quality and quantity time with my family, I'm back to blogging and will be posting at least once or twice a day from now on, so please visit often!
Today's Gothic Arches challenge theme is "Spain". I decided to come back with a truly Gothic, Gothic Arch - - a photo of Burgos Cathedral in Spain, printed onto a transparency sheet and layered over sheet of hand-dyed linen paper. I added a Spanish postage stamp, some German Scrap and some black flourish rub-ons from BasicGrey.
Burgos Cathedral dates back to the early 1200's and is one of the most richly ornate examples of Gothic architecture in the world.
Have a wonderful day, Everyone!
Gorgoeus, love it!!
