Gothic Arches


Challenge theme: Heritage/Ancestry
My ancestors arrived in Canada from Iceland in the late 1800's. My family photo is one of a family member taken in the early 1900's, she is wearing traditional Icelandic dress.
I have accented the gothic arch with a metal flower and metal photo corners. The flourish is from Quietfire.
