covered bridge

This is one of the cards I sent to Operation Write Home in last month’s shipment.  I’d had the bridge image stamped here for a while – in fact, long enough that the background colors faded a bit.  Ooops.  But I finally managed to get it made into a card, using OWH sketch #59 for the layout.  I added the sentiment to the focal panel and matted it on black cardstock.  I decided to use a background stamp on the green strip to add some visual texture.   I’m pleased with the final result.
