This guy is more Steampunk than Goth - but "Oliver" from Make It Crafty, is the closest image I have for a "Gone Gothic" challenge at Craft Your Passion. My biggest problem was to make it dark enough to be Goth. I Layered blues and grays 'cuz I still wanted to see the detail of his clothes - but true Goth should be much more black. Next I put all kinds of mini words on the DP and then used a brick wall embossing folder by Tim Holtz to make the background panel. You can see some of that detail in the upper left quadrant. All corners punched / rounded and silver brads added for minimal embellishment.
