Magnificent Bridge

Another masculine card... Is a bridge considered architecture? I have a family member who is educated in Civil Engineering and Architecture so I verified that bridges can be considered both architecture and engineering. I have had this die for a few years and have never used it so decided this theme challenge was the perfect chance to use it.

A panel of blue cardstock was masked and sponged to depict water. The ink was touched up with a white gel pen to add some foam for movement. The bridge was die cut from silver foil and adhered to blue panel. The cork was die cut and adhered to depict the shore. The clouds were die cut and one was cut in half horizontally and adhered directly to the card front. The other cloud was adhered with foam tape.

The tree die was used to cut the same tree twice using different shades of green cardstock. The dark tree was adhered directly to the card front. The light tree was turned over to give a different profile and adhered with foam tape. The right edges of the trees were trimmed off at the edge of the blue panel. The inside of the card was decorated with a strip of cork and a strip of silver foil. No sentiment was added at this time.
