I took a Tando Creative Arabian style arch, covered it in texture paste and then added a gazillion layers of paint. OK, maybe not a gazillion but lots. I was going to take pictures but camera didn't like it, and err.. maybe I did forget now and again in my painty frenzy. Anyway they were mostly fuzzy and who wants to look at fuzzy pictures without a glass of wine in hand?? Then I backed it with one of Crafty Individuals background papers from Travels in Italy. All papers used on this project are from various Crafty Individuals Background Papers Books.
I added an ornate gate from Tando Creative painted with black, then gold acrylic. My Crafty Individual Penguins were stamped and embossed. I was going to add some colours but the Crafty Individuals paper was so pretty. The flowers are all Cheery Lynn dies, Cuties 2, BAF #3 and the flourishes from Celtic Fire Oval Frame die. All the pearls are from Storyteller.
My passionate Penguin pair (say that three times fast!) are joining the fun at
