Here's my sample using one of the new Designs from Old Grist Mill plate. Its the watercolor markers technique from Technique Junkies.

cold connection metal

I tried a new technique using cold connection metal from an online group I belong too. Here's my first attempt. Its made from copper and brass sheeting, I thought it would be fun to have an arch shape that had hinged doors. Tricky but I did it. Also really hard on the hands. My metal was way to heavy. Live and learn!

Gothic Arches- Autumn

Don't you just love fall? I know I do, all the beautiful colors in all their Glory. At Gothic Arches the theme this week is Autumn. I tried to capture some of the beauty in my arch this week. Stamps by Impression Obsession, Stampin up. Butterfly image from Artchix Studios. I do hope you go see all the Lovely arches created this week.

Gothic Arches- Let them eat Cupcakes!

Can you believe it I don't own a single cupcake stamp. I must have spent 2 hours going thru my stash of stamps,digital images,stickers,papers and all I found was this tiny cupcake sticker. I think it would have been faster to pull out my flour, sugar and butter and made some from scratch then photograph it. Oh well I ended up doing a ATC since my cupcake was so small. So heres my Let Them Eat Cupcakes. Stamps by Oxford Impressions. Digital image by The Graphics Fairy. See the rest at Gothic Arches
