Birdsong

I created this book for the last Art 'n' Soul challenge: GOTHIC ARCHES with a MUSIC/MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS/ANYTHING MUSIC OR SONG RELATED theme. We had to make three arches with front and back decorated. I chose birds and birdsong as my musical theme

The book pages are connected at the top with some string. The edge of every page is also lined with string to give it some definition. These are the plain individual pages of the booklet

All patterend paper is from The Girl's Paperie, stamps are Stempelglede, Red Lead PaperWorks, Obsession Impressions, Darcies and 7Gypsies.

Ginger, Copper and Rust

... equals Gingertivity ... All DT newbies for Gingersnap Creations were asked to create a project in ginger, copper or rust reflecting our 'gingerness': Penny, Helene, Jules, Stephanie and myself.
Being a Ginger is a very new beginning and being part of such a talented group opened a completely different door for me ...

At the beginning was the image from Vintage Stampers Freebees , all other elements developed around it. I digitally modified the image and layered it on a background from Cemerony. I found the template for the arch on the web (sorry, haven't got the web page anymore), cut it from very thick copper coloured card, embossed it with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and distressed it with Adirondack ink. The little enter sign is a Darkroom stamp. The inside of the arch is distressed and on both inside doors stamped with Artemio stamps.

This is the digital image I created for the inside of the arch, please feel free to use. Have a wonderful weekend, Petra.
