This is the sample for my challenge, Hope is the Thing - to be inspired by the poet Emily Dickinson: Hope is the thing with feathers.
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all.
It was this stamp from Verve which gave me the idea for the challenge so I had to make a card with it! I used a cloud die-cut to sponge a sky, and a small Nestie circle cut out of a post-it-note to mask the sun.

Stunning, gorgeous, breath-taking..... Such talent, Bridget. I put this into my favorites, not that I can CASE it, but maybe I can just be inspired and use some elements from this. I love it.
