Latest Gothic Arches challenge

Here's my entry for the latest challenge on http://gothicarches.blogspot.com/


The theme was correspondence. I fancied making something other than a 'flat' arch so came up with this opening arch.



The arches are cuttlebug embossed and distressed with some collage and stamping throughout. Her'es the book open.........orma;lly they have 4 pages and open as a square, but I have so much going on at the minute I made it just two to save time.

Here you can see both sides of the pages.


and the same again with page 2.


The two outside covers........

and inside

Finally this is a bit better photo showing the colours a but better, soon be more daylight!


That's me done, off to tidy my craft room, it's like a tip!!!!!!!!

That top one looks complex.

Love the wee girl on the bottom one.

I'm behind with my comments (again) my computer's been on a go slow but that's not surprising since we didn't even had a telephone line, let alone internet, for some of last week.

BT - God bless 'em.
