Midsummer is so special!

The new challenge at Hero Arts has a "Summer Fun" theme and being Swedish the highlight of summer is to celebrate midsummer with dancing around the midsummer pole with flower wreaths in our hair so decided to make a card for our Midsummer hosts this year; Eva and Martin - Thanks for a wonderful time!




For my card I used stamps from; Japaneese garden, Dancing with flowers, Sew special, Layered Flowers and my favorite bg stamp - the Flowerdot background.

Challenges:
Stamps & Fun = Creativity  - Summer
Craft a Scene  In the Garden
Penny Black and More -) Summer Blooms
Sentimental Sundays -  BINGO* (pearls, flowers, stamps)
Totally Papercrafts – Here Comes Summer
Paper Crafting Journey - Summer
Cute Card Thursday - Gardener's world

Hope you are having a wonderful summer!
Hugs, Karin

    That intricate lace background...

    But it's the silhouettes that run away with my heart...

    A really pretty card Karin, the Hero stamp looks great against the subtly DP and the flower garland compliments it perfectly.

    Hej Karin! Den stämpel påminner mig om midsommar också, jag har använt den på en midsommar layout tidigare. Jättefin bakground och ett helt underbart kort. Tack för ditt Craft a Scene kort!!
