A package from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps came just in time for me to use this lovely set, Bridge of Hope, for today's Inspiration Challenge at GelaSkins - HERE is the piece of art I chose. I used a cloud die-cut to sponge the sky and colored the image with copics but kept the rest of the card fairly clean. Thanks, Mom, for an early Christmas present of the colored jute! More about this card and the story behind the sentiment found on my blog.

A beautiful card to highlight a portion of one of my favorite songs. Thanks for the story behind it on your blog....I did not know that! Truly a man of faith.

From the gorgeous colors, fantastic design and lovely embellishments to the powerful words of the sentiment, this card is absolutely beautiful! I've always loved that hymn, but did not know the story behind it... your explanation makes it even more meaningful. TFS

Just gorgeous, Bridget...I can see where you got your inspiration for the colors, but this card with it's message is stunning and equally inspirational!
This is gorgeous Bridget! I love that poem. I must have this set. You are an enabler you know! My holly die came yesterday. I'm going to go play with it later today.
