Country Bridge Scene Scrapbook Layout

Was inspired by {PIN}spirational challenge which you can see info on below to create this.

Started out creating the stamped image. Used Stampin' Up markers and an Inkadinkado rubber stamp. Was not sure how it would turn out and thought possibly that most parts of the image would not transfer any ink to my Kraft cardstock. Was pleasantly surprised at how it looked. Distressed the edges of the Kraft cardstock with Tim Holtz paper distresser and Distress Ink broken china.

Then, I proceeded to think about what I would use the stamped image for. I recalled some vintage looking scrapbook paper I bought at Hobby Lobby. You know the kind where the paper is nice and you think why cover up the parts since you like it so much that you resist using it and especially resist cutting it into pieces. I got my brave hat on and decided I wanted two different scrapbook papers. Cut the parts I wanted.

Then I decided on using a K Andrew Designsw Positive Thoughts sentiment.

Chose a banner Spellbinders die for sentiment tag.

Would appreciate your input on if I should I add anything to the layout?
