Yesterday we went to "creative metz" to get some inspiration...
What did we find ? - a dream came true! We found a chap who did his own way of altering books and he and his ladies (maybe daughters) sold a lot of great stuff.
Here you see some of the wonderful things we bought...
I' ve lost the mail adress but I entend to find it back - this was really like walking in a dream...
The theme at Gothic Arches this grey sunday is crackle. I was very pleased this morning as I saw the theme because I bought a "crackle accent" yesterday. BUT I have to admit that I was disappointed - that face should have been full of crackles and the lights too...
Anyway , I like the arch the way it is, even if I think that "crackle accents" didn't keep their promises.
And what did I use(?);
Stamps from stempelwinkel, paperartzy and inkadinkado...
Ranger distress inks and wax colours...
Hope you all like it!
Wish you all a lovely week!
Lena

Lena, your gothic arch is super beautiful. I love the super find from the shop. Looks like a lot of "goodies" to play with.
AntwortenLöschenThat's a wonderful arch you've created, Lena! LynnF
AntwortenLöschenBeautiful and creative arch Lena- lovely entry!
AntwortenLöschenVery beautiful, Lena! Maybe it helps if you use more Crackle accent? Some crackles have to be applied thickly. When that doesn't help you could try Distress crackle paint rock candy, a colorless crackle that does crackle.
