I was really happy to see today's challenge, to make a card in which there is an animal or a bird. I immediately thought of this stamp from Bildmalarna, a Swedish company which has unfortunately closed.
Bildmalarne, Under the Stars
I remember my girls, when they were just 8-9 years old. They went to a riding school. Their joy of being with the many horses was fantastic to see. They were often on walks in nature on horseback.I see the girl in the picture, full of dreams, the stars symbolize for me the Christmas holiday.
We all need hopes and dreams in the world we live in now. We need peace, kindness, understanding - we need love. Many years ago I sewed this Christmas star to put on the top of our Christmas tree - it shines when the lights are turned on, on the tree. It is a symbol for me, of the hope that Christ can ignite in us.
Sweet image - I can see why you are sad that company has closed. I like your card Conny.
SvarSletBeautiful card Conny, the image is so sweet! Isn't it lovely when something reminds you of your children as youngsters... I love a good trip down memory lane. You've done a beautiful job with the colouring, it's so soft and pretty. I also like the double mat and the little rose bud embellishments. Lovely.
