Several people have asked what is the black around the edges of my finished arches....
That is the "Mat Arch" I spoke about in my post on Base Materials and Bindings.
I actually have two templates I'm working with while working on my Mom Gothic Arches... My actual GA template plus a larger "Mat Arch" which I am using as the pages of my book. I am going to mount two arches on each of these chipboard mats and those will be punched and bound together so I am not actually punching holes in my arches.
I am simply cutting these mat arches from a heavier chipboard ~ old game boxes as a matter of fact...
then I'm painting all the edges both front and back black...
I have 5 for the inner pages plus two extra ~ one for the front cover and one for the back.
Hope that answers your questions :)
Thank you Roni for answering my question. I should have been paying more attention at the beginning!!!
