Meeting Three Challenges

My biggest challenge for the last week has been lack of inspiration. I'm not sure if it's late summer doldrums, the cloudy wet weather from tropical storm Fay, or just laziness, but I haven't been motivated to do much of anything. Finally today I got back to work to create this gothic arch as my entry for Gothic Arches' theme of Black, White and a Hint of Red, and for Layers of Color Challenge theme of Roses.

Stamps used are from Layers of Color and Stamper's Anonymous. I also used papers and ribbon from Paula's Kit Club's latest kit, black and white. The image of the woman is from my own collection of vintage photos.
