For those that stop by my blog you probably know I enjoy whimsical designs. I don't stamp and just the thought of coloring gives me the vapors. Today's post started out with the idea of could I create a bridge using the dies I have. I started first by die cutting the 3¾″ circle which I then embossed using a brick pattern. Next I used the 3¼″ circle and cut out the arch. After trimming the wrought iron fence I attached to the top of bridge and added the trees and houses. I added the big splash border under the bridge and the trailing vine on the right side and honeyblossom sprig to the left.

Truly an awesome work of creativity. Love the whimsey and the process to get there, but I would just get the vapours trying to do this so I will enjoy your gift and stick to colouring)!! What a beautiful water die under your talented arched bridge.
