Please be kind with your comments. This is the very first Gothic Arch I've ever made. Paul was kind of excited to know I was making something different from my usual cards and "style" (if I have a style) and told me he has always thought these were cool.
OK...I finish this and he looks at it for a long time and then says, (and I quote) "Uhhhh...nice." Translated that means, "I've seen better."
So I know that this isn't the best and I'd really appreciate helpful suggestions. I've wanted to do these for a long time but this is a whole new world of papercrafting for me.

The lady reading is unidentified (but I really like this stamp).
Used double needle for border stitching.
Constructive criticism most welcome.
Well Jennifer I think it is terrific. At least you had the courage to try it. I haven't gotten that far yet. I love the stamps you used. Great job. Glinda

I have constructive critique for you:
ReplyDeleteMAKE MORE AND MORE AND MORE!!!!
Your first attempt is magnificent! I want to see MOOOOORRREEEEE!
You brave arch-making stamper. I've been afraid of this design because everyone makes such amazing things with it. I love the softness in your design.
ReplyDeleteI think this is great! I've never seen a Gothic Arch before (where have I been). Is it a rectangular card with the arch on the front, or, is it actually arch-shaped? Are there instructions? I love the look of it.
ReplyDeleteLove your first try, and as usual, your stitching is simply SPLENDIFEROUS!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Love the stitching, feather, soft colors and image. But I have never heard of a gothic arch? Boy am I out of the loop!
