Fashionable ......

Made a Gothic Arch in the theme of 'Fashion' which is for a monthly Challenge over on UK Stampers Forum.

I started with an Arch template made from card and covered this in floral printed paper.  The edge details were punched from the same paper and used to edge the Arch as shown.  The inner edge was gilded with a gold pen.  I then stamped a few handbags in sepia Versafine on the background and added a strip of green grosgrain ribbon tied in a knot in the middle. Below this I applied a couple of strips of pink Washi tape and decorated this with 5 pink sparkly cabochons.  The lady and the dress were stamped in Memento black ink and these were coloured with Alcohol ink markers and trimmed out before applying on foam pads.

Final touch was to add the word 'Beautiful' stamped in Memento and coloured on layers of card coloured with more alcohol ink.
