Tag Tuesday-Arch

I really wanted to do the Tag Tuesday theme justice this week and once I found the perfect arch on Graphics Fairy it all just came together.
 I re-sized the arch and removed the gate that was in the middle of the original image, then printed it on patterned paper, clear embossed, then trimmed.  The tag is sponged with Chipped Sapphire Distress ink then stamped with Chipped Sapphire. The arch is mounted with foam dimensional tape.
Supplies and tools: Distress Inks-Chipped Sapphire, Wild Honey; stamps: Tree- Snag 'em stamps by Imaginisce; Stencil Art clear set by Hero Arts; Golden Rod Stickles; Patterned Paper-The First Blush collection from Prima Marketing; Avery shipping tag from Office Depot.

It has special meaning this week as my dad is still hospitalized and not doing well. Making hope my theme just makes sense. Hope for today and hope for the future.
Thought for the Day: Psalm 147:11 ~ "the Lord delights in those who fear Him, who put their hope in His unfailing love."
Blessings be yours today,

    Beautiful Nancy and what a great idea to print the arch out on patterned paper, would never have thought of that! I love the theme of HOPE too, it is an anchor for the soul that holds us fast in His Eternal Love!
