Today I am using the image of Mrs. Sallie Rhea, one of my ancestors. Don't you just love the hat?The arch on the left is done on a piece of dotted scrapbook paper that I sent through the cuttlebug in the Swiss Dots folder. The house is handcut from a sheet of paper I had misted with numerous glimmer mists and Moon glow products. Sallie is a transfer I did.
The arch on the right is done on glossy card stock that has had alcohol inks sprayed on it. I also did a bit of stamping with Purple Onion Designs stamps. The house is handcut from a card stock that I had used alcohol inks on and then run through the cuttlebug in a beautiful small folder. Sallie is a printed copy.
Gothic Arches' theme this week is Home is where the heart is. I figure Sallie was the heart of her home. One Stop's theme this week is Decorative Cuts. both pieces have a bit of gold trim from a gold Sharpie.
Wonderful work, Faye! I love reading the crafter's journey from beginning to end of projects. If digital painting is a mystery to you, craftwork is a mystery to me, mostly because I have no patience and I am a messy person.
ReplyDeleteI sent you an email about the misunderstanding . I am still chuckling because I thought my "quote" might have been offensive perhaps because clowning around could mean something else in a different culture!!

ReplyDeleteWow, Faye, what great arches, the small Cuttlebug folder you used is my favourite one, most useful, so effective with the alcohol inks you used!

Two absolutely gorgeous arches Faye and a story to tell about them. I wouldn't mind a hat like that - mind you I'd probably look terrible in it unlike Sallie!
