Country Road.

There's another Noon Time Challenge at Flourishes. This challenge is all about sharing our surroundings with the stamping world! We just have to share a photo, pick three colors in the photo and use them in our card!

The country where I live, Finland, is a country of thousands of lakes and islands. Forest covers 86% of the country area and it's the largest forested area in Europe. Finland's flag is white and blue. The color blue represents the sky and the lakes and the color white represents Finland's light during the summer nights and the snow in the winter. And so I wanted to make a card with blue, green and white colors:


The stamp is from the Flourishes Kids Play stamp set. I really love it because it's just what kids like doing here! Fishing! I found a Tilda paper with butterflies and a dragonfly and I think it was just perfect for this card as you can see a lot of these by the lakes! The white background was made with the Cuttlebug embossing folder called Seeing Spots. It also looks like white clouds! The frame of the image was made with one of the Spellbinders Labels Four dies. Here are two photos of a Finnish summer time:

  9. Anne-Elise, I enjoyed reading about your country! I am ashamed to say I didn't know too much about Finland, and it was a delight to learn a bit about it.

    Your card is so easy on the eyes...serene and peaceful.
