Love your covered bridge and dedicating to stampers is so thoughtful. Great definition on the grassy knolls. We have lots of covered bridges in Western PA. There is a covered bridge festival every Fall.

I love covered bridges, but most are red. It's so nice to see a blue one and to be honored as well, Brent. Great texture on the grass and country road~

Terrific scene. Love the covered bridge dedication to Stampers. The grassy hills scattered with flowers and the blue sky with puffy white clouds looks like springtime is here. Creative ideas for the challenge colors. Thanks for all the amazing work to inspire us.

Brent, this scene just draws me in, and I’m back in Madison County, enjoying its covered bridges. Not that I’ve ever been there, but I sure love the book and movie. OK, back to your card, I love the covered bridge and the fact that, it’s dedicated to us stampers what a great card!
