{Tale of Grace Wooden Gothic Arch}




A double sided wooden gothic arch I created using a block that hubby cut out. Painted and lace trim added to the sides, pattern papers, stamping, collage images (Paper Whimsy), wooden spools at bottom, bling and buttons. Lyrics from a song by Norah Jones on one side. Happy Tuesday! :)
