For your chance to win: Comment on the following Design Team members' blogs TODAY before midnight EDT. There will be ONE random winner chosen from the comments on today's Blog Hop blogs. That winner will win Covered Bridges. We will announce the winner's name on tomorrow's MFP blog post.

Today I have a Covered Bridge to show you. I chose the Winter version of this amazing stamp. I stamped my image with Versamagic and used Midnight Emerald Obsidian Embossing Power so that my trees would be evergreen. This is really pretty IRL because it has a glittery look to it. I created my snow with "Snow Writer" and sprinkled some white glitter on it while it was wet.

The Snowflakes are a Martha Stewart Large and Medium punch that have been also glittered with some Martha Stewart glitter. I cut apart Prima Pearl swirls for the flourish. Thanks so much for stopping by today. This stamp is available today at Mark;s Finest Papers and comes with another covered bridge in a fall theme. Reminds me of my beloved New England and the covered bridges of Vermont and New Hampshire. Thanks for stopping by. See you tomorrow!
