Gothic Arch's By Dee

Hi everyone hope you are all well and having a crafty time. I have a plaque 

for you today using the new stencils from The artistic Stamper,

and some Artistic stamper stamps.

Firstly I brayered on the fresco paint till it resembled old stone.

I then used a pallet knife to apply the grunge paste to the top left

I applied this quite thickly so it would resembled old stone 

once I had stamped into it using the circular column toppers

of the architecture plate.

I inked up the stained glass window off the architecture plate

stamped it twice with black stazon once onto the background

and once onto spare card. This was then cut out and

 stuck into the frame of the main image of the arch.

I used the Artistic Stamper lace background stamp & inked it up with stazon black ink 

This resembles peeled paint if you used the right area's. Stamp around the 

Arch window.

I put texture paste through the Artistic Stamper flourish stencil, I then

sprinkled a mix of pale blue and gold embossing powder and dried 

with a heat gun.

I used the Framelits die and glued this up the side after I had sprayed it with spiced

 marmalade and rusty hinge distress spray stains.

I wasn't keen on the colour although it did look like an old Gothic 

building I wanted it to look vibrant and highlight the swirl

texture.

I stamped the calligraphy mat 4 on distress treated paper which had

been swiped with old page and stained walnut.

I used the distress stain sprays to spray the entire piece to make it more vibrant.

I highlighted in area's with gilding wax. I applied a three

embellishments to look like old rusty bolts.

I must admit looking at it it reminds me of Rapunzel maybe the swirl is her hair

That's it for today as always let me know what you think remember look

at your stamps and see what other patterns they can create.

Cheers Dee x
