The Gothic Arch challenge this week is “Buttons”. I made an ATC sized arch coloring the background with inks and stamping. There is some wonderful scrapbook paper with buttons all over it, I cut a few out and added a couple of real buttons as well. The blue eyed girl is from one of Debrina Pratt’s collage sheets.
