Lets Get Shabby......Challenge #19


This months challenge at Lets Get Shabby is ARCHITECTURE..........combine arches, columns, scallops etc. I have used a 'triptych' ( a set of three panels or compartments side by side, bearing pictures, carvings etc. ) to display my take on this theme. I love the pointed gables of the "roof" and the front door is actually my front door to my house. I have used lots of painted German Scrap and embossed laser cuts ( lamp, gates and fences ). The gates and lamp have been "rusted " using Tim Holtz walnut distress embossing powder. Websters Pages paper is so beautiful and lent itself perfectly for this challenge. The architectural photos on the back half were taken in North Terrace Adelaide at night. If you would like to take part in this challenge hop over to the Lets Get Shabby blog and join in.
