Anthing Goes - Gothic Arch Set

Hi Tando fans! Dana here today sharing a set of Gothic Arches for the Anything Goes theme this week. These small chipboard arches measure about 4x3 inches and were the perfect size for creating some fun little scenes.

I have one small gnome that was left in the yard of my first home. We fell in love with the little guy and he has traveled with us with each move over the past 10 years. I modeled this gnome after him.

I covered the arch with patterned papers, which I personalized with some doodling in black to help separate the layers. I then piled on stamped images that I colored simply with Sharpies. I added some fun texture to the gnome and butterfly with white dimensional paint.

I began this arch the same as the previous one, with patterned paper that I doodled on. I tore several of the layers for added interest. Once the background was to my liking, I layered on the swirly clouds, colorful houses and the "home" sentiment.

I attached several of the houses to my arch with foam dots for dimension.

Thanks for stopping by today!

A little Bird Told Me Arch - In The Garden

Hi Tando fans! Dana here today sharing an arch for the "In the Garden" theme this week. I started this piece with an Arabian Style Layered Arch Frame. I covered the arch with a book page and added the background pattern with the Leaves Mask Set, which contains both the leave mask and the flower mask, and some Distress inks.

I painted the flowers with Twinkling H2Os watercolor paint. I added a pearl flower center to each bloom with a Viva Decor Pearl Pen.

I colored a Mini Bird with a Distress Marker and then added a white feather patterned rub-on. I colored the Small Bird Cage with a simple coat of white acrylic paint and added a yellow rose for a fun pop of color.

I finished this piece with a sentiment sticker and a bow.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
