Getting Arch-y with the Gingersnaps!

Pin It

No, no. Not "The Archies" (although that certainly does bring back fond, Saturday-morning memories!). ARCH-y! Like, gothic arches. This is our theme at Gingersnap Creations this week, and you really can't help but have fun with it!

My own little arch was hand drawn onto glossy white cardstock, embossed with the Tim Holtz Dot Matrix Texture Fade, and colored with Alcohol Inks. The cute little stamp is a new (to me) image from Catslife Press, and she's colored with Copics and glimmery Spica pens and edged with black Adirondack Paint. The clock face, pointers and metal flowers are all Tim Holtz Idea-ology, and the trinket pins came from eclectic Paperie.

I bet you have some really fabulous ideas about how to use arches in your art. C'mon, show 'em off!

This challenge is open at Gingersnaps all the way through November 14, so you have plenty of time to ponder the arch... embrace the arch... create the arch! And even watch "The Archies!" ;)

Hugs,
Linda

Hi Linda! I love your gothic-style arch. It's kind of on the dark side, which is cool, and I love that flower and the dark colors. :) Great job! Theresa

I love your rocket arch, now is she an alien flying to the earth, or a zany earthling flying to the moon? Terrific humour Linda. Annette x
