The Gothic Arches theme is “wings”, Love this theme
The lovely lady is on a scrapbook paper background, that I painted and stenciled a bit (I am really enjoying my plastic doily pieces!)
That great green dotted paper behind the arch is from Linda
*forgot to mention ~ the bit at the top of my arch is a piece of flimmerstern that I colored with a silver metallic marker*

Just beautiful! The color is serene. The image is an exquisite choice! And what is that at the top of your arch? Again, a most beautiful piece!

Gorgeous arch Patty….and I love that butterfly, is it a stamp? Those plastic doyleys are so versatile – have you seen how Sharon (allnorahsart) uses them?

Ohhhhhh Patty, this is absolutely stunning, I love how she is flying on the wings of a butterfly, don’t we all wish we could do that sometimes?
BTW, I sent a couple emails but they came back, I can’t figure out what went wrong.

Such gorgeous colors, Patty. I like the angle of the butterfly. Most are seen sort of flat, but yours has lots of character. The lady on the butterfly is very elegant.
