I DARE YOU .... AGAIN!


This I dare you is for Fushia. Lynns dare was to make an opulent looking gothic arch, so I decided i'd try to make something that looked kind of gilded. I think it does. I also REALLY wanted to use my new stamp so I did that too :) The background of the arch is perfect pearls which has flourishes stamped over the top in green distress ink. The little lady is on acetate and painted with H2Os. There is then some organza curtains attached. The frame is clay painted and painted some more :$ It actually lost a little of the detail but thats okay it makes it look older. To finish it off i've attached a gold chain with a little glitter bead that looks like a glitter ball since she's on stage. I do hope its okay! Its scary when someone sets you a challenge and they have something in mind but you dont know what it is.
