GOTHIC ARCHES - "Crackle"

The challenge at Gothic Arches this week is to make an arch using the theme of "crackle-think of something worn, weathered, peeling" and so here's my arch--I cut an arch shape from a piece of cardboard, and then painted it with acrylics and then painted with crackle gel, and again with acrylic paint. I added the image, which was provided by The Graphics Fairy, and added the embellishments--you can see all the beautiful arches by clicking on the names here.
