Brrrrrr! It's chilly here. Just been out on the balcony in PJs and dressing gown to take the pics of my arches, as the light inside was not so good this morning. Managed to get some pics of the mist, and then watched the sun slowly rising over the snowy fields, and now I feel like I have been deep frozen!
Made 2 simple arches this time. The blue one has been cut from some blue patterned paper from the *Taj Mahal* Stack, overlaid with some blue starry gauze material, and then I put an embossed and distressed frame round it. Added some snowflakes, a TH die cut, and some alphas, and that was it.
The second arch has been cut from different scraps of black and white card which were part of a calendar from last year, I added a silver border, the flower, 2 snowflakes and a text made with the Brother P-touch. Was fun making them, as always. Thanks for looking, and keep warm and safe!
You've been at it again! Well done, lovely arches! And did you do the h*******k? Have a nice weekend, Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie, thanks very much for the Christmas card and tag that have arrived safely....I am so happy especially with the tag! Marvellous to have something so beautiful, thanks petal. I've been doing a little gentle crafting myself but nothing as creative as you've been doing, these arches are fantastic to look at. Hope you are keeping warm, it looks very wintry over there. CoB

Thanks a lot ladies! Netty, I don't think brain surgery would help, it's gone past that stage!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful arches, so elegant Valerie. I thought the blue one looked like fabric, then reading your description - what a wonderful idea to lay a fancy gauze over the pretty paper - inspiring as always!
