For Featured Stamper Challenge 398.....
Parting is such sweet sorrow as we say goodbye to one of our hostesses -- of the most kind and beautiful women I have ever known -- my friend, Bridget Finlay.
Bridget's work is just beyond compare and it was incredibly hard to case her. This is my second one - and HERE is the adorable card I cased. I had some fun chipboard from Simple Stories and decided it needed to be used. I kept her layout and patterns, but changed to chipboard, left off the cute little tag (which I may add in because it's so cute), and used a full fence. I know I could not duplicate her beautiful stitching, so used piercing and stitched dies instead. I also added little hearts on the hills to match the balloons. The sun says "Fun in the sun" and the banner on the heart balloons says "Hello Friend."
I will miss you as a teamie, Bridget!! XOXO
Please come play along with us HERE and help us honor her this week!

Judy, I've told this to several other woman playing in this challenge but it's worth saying again. I knew I'd see some beautiful and creative cards, and I have. Your card(s), especially this one, is so cute. I recognized the card you Cased right away. Bridget created several cards like this - embellishing them with her amazing machine stitching skills - I was amazed. Judy, you've done a marvelous job re-creating them. I love the changes you made (the little FUN sun), hearts, and... I really like the piercing as much as I do Bridget's stitching. It's a darling card layout that captures a fun whimsical style.
