Gothic Arches - paper patchwork

Wow, this was a tough one for me! The challenge for gothic arches was to make our arch from patchwork made from paper by Cora's method. I tore up pieces of various papers and glued them helter-skelter to a piece of cardstock. Then I took some brick red acrylic paint and spread it all over. Supposedly, I could wipe it right off. However, my paint must have been too thick and it wouldn't rub off. I put the card under the water faucet and washed off much of the red paint. Bits and pieces from some travel brochures and a stamp from Stampin'Up finished off the 3x5 (Skinny) gothic arch.
