midsummer's dream

 Mid-Summer is a time of scorching temperatures, time spent by the water drinking lemonade from a Mason jar and family vacations. Are you longing to play with a Farmer’s Market inspired paper line? Planning on stamping into a starry night frenzy? Or are you inspired by Shakespeare? We challenge you to create and share your "Mid-Summer" project with us!

My project was inspired by a romantic old photo I discovered at an antique store. Sadly, there were no names on the back of the photo. It only says, "Hamburg 1927". The people remind me of lovers from a classic Shakespearean play, so I wanted them to be the focus of the project. A simple chipboard frame helped to emphasize them. There are no technique photos this week because this project was created easily. Sometimes simple stamping is the best way to go. Here, I used basic black ink to keep a clean color palette. The flowers were created by embossing on tinted vellum.
