Gothic Arches

GothicArchPurple Feb08Here is my “Purple” arch for the Gothic Arch Challenge.
I used some special handmade (not by me) purple background paper, along with the purple fiber paper at the bottom.

I could not resist adding a button and a flimmersterne for the rays of the sun shining down on another lovely Paper Whimsy image.

It would have been perfect to find a purple flower for the little girl to hold, but I just had to use this sweet Bluebell!
