Arches

Alison is hosting the Arches swap on the Lotstodo forum this month - the theme was "Open"

I used gesso and acrylics to add colour to my background - I then did a bit of stencil doodling. The little girl images are from Lisa's Altered Art and the lady cut from a magazine. I added some bits to the lady - outlined her and then stamped my wording, cut it out, added it and outlined it. The little girls were grounded on to scrap pieces that I had cut, they were outlined and then the words were added and outlined. I finished all 3 arches by inking the edges.

Autumnal Arches

These are the arches I've made for a swap I'm hosting on the Lotstodorevisited forum.

I stamped the arch with a leaf roller stamp using big and juicy I then overlaid them with parchment papers attached with brads. I then added the images

Lotstodo Challenge Vintage

I cut out from mount board 4 pieces and covered them with a gorgeous backing paper - I then stamped 2 images on to doyley and 2 direct on to the paper I then added the doyleys to my backing along with some buttons, ric rac and wording. I finished by threading raffia through the holes I'd made with my crop o dile and inking the edges

Lotstodo Challenge - Recycled

I too used a piece from a cradboard box to create my Gothic Arch. I tore some of the paper off and used dabbers to create my background. I then added a piece of torn paper and some wire mesh. I covered my jigsaw piece with dabbers and wound wire round it. I then finished off by adding a little fan and some beads that I had threaded through some wire.

Lotstodo Swap - Arches

I created this arch for a swap on the Lotstodo forum being hosted by Andrea. The arch had toinclude recycled items.

I used a piece of cardboard from a box for my base. I tore a bit of the covering away and then using dabbers added some colour. I then added a piece of torn paper and wire mesh. My topper was made using an old door number metal plate with I covered with UTEE and whilst hot stamped my wording. I finished off the whole piece by adding some braid
