The Gothic Arch challenge this week is to use silhouettes, and the Saturday's workout challenge is to use the thread technique, and the Daring Cardmakers are using birds as their theme. The crow stamp is from Quietfire Design, the sentiment stamp is Hero Arts. I've never done the thread technique before. It was so simple! I cut the arch, stamped the image and the sentiment, then just wrapped the thread around a part of the arch, then brayered over the whole card with "Old Paper" distress ink. Then I sponged some "Vintage Photo" ink around the edges. Have a look at all the entries on these fun challenge blogs...some great inspiration there!
Thank you for stopping by today. :)

Fantastic arch. I love the sepia touch you have given your silhouette crow. Artistry in action. (I may live just about as far away as one can be from Nova Scotia but I have been a tourist there and thought it beautiful and unspoiled. Lucky you to live in such a place).
Terrific Arch, gorgeous silhouette!
