Christmas Gothic Arch

Cynthia of Rainbow Lady's Challenge Blog has the theme of Gothic arch Christmas.  My arch is a piece of cardstock I was playing around with last night. I mixed up some chipped up blue watercolor pencil and melted it in a dab of water. I added some bright gold Pearl Ex and a drop or two of gum arabic.* Then with a brush I covered the piece of cardstock with the mixture. It has a beautiful sheen. I stamped the holly , the ornament, and the Merry Christmas on glossy cardstock. The holly was colored with Le Plume pens.

*This technique is one I read on Split Coast Stampers.
