My very first Gothic Arch


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 sentiment quote stamp is by Dawn Houser stamps
The lady reading is unidentified (but I really like this stamp).
Used double needle for border stitching.

Constructive criticism most welcome.

  6. 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.

  7. I 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.
