White Gothic Arch


Finally there is some time to participate again in the Gothic Arches Challenge where the theme this week is white. I also made this arch for Heather R in our OhmyGothic Yahoo swap group as she loves vintage children. She also gets the arch I made for the Cat challenge several weeks ago.


The arch has a background of vintage white damask fabric onto which I have stitched white lace. The fabric image is from PaperWhimsy and was also stitched on. More white lace was added to the bottom and a vintage white flower to the top. A large bead was stitched onto the flower and smaller white beads to the bottom lace. I also added white sequins with white beads all over the surface as well as white beads along the satin stitched edges.
