I immediately thought of this covered bridge when I saw the Teaparty challenge. I stamped the bridge on kraft paper and aged it with distress inks. I added some cheesecloth that had been dyed with distress inks. I painted the little bird and covered it with glossy accents. That's about it. TFL!

This card just takes me back to one of my favourite films - Bridges of Madison County. You have created such a special rustic background to showcase the bridge. Lot of lovely detail.

Pol, oh my goodness...what a fantastic Tea Potter card! I love the little extras that moves your 'story' along. You are so talented with collage...like lil' bits of your heart sent out in the world.

A wonderful combination of detailed techniques...love the embossed bottom panel, the dyed cheesecloth, dsp foliage, and little bird to add to that lovely kraft stamped covered bridge! Your color combination sure adds to the rustic, vintage flavor. So eye-catching, Polly!
