Dala horses originated in the 1800s as wood-carved toys in Sweden. Since horses were invaluable, these carvings symbolized friendship and hard work. They were also bartered for other household goods. The most popular version is red but there are others, usually in bright colours.

I love that Miriam created so many versions of the Dala horse, both to colour and die cut from any material your heart desires! I used all of the Dala Horse dies to create the horses in the window. The sentiment is from the Dala Horse stamp set and the grass and flowers in the background are all from Scandinavian Flowers.

I didn't know we can create two different Dala Horses using dies until I saw your card. Yes, I didn't open my die package yet. (Bad me! Lol!) Your card is gorgeous with vibrant color combo. I think this card would be perfect for baby shower card. Great design!!!! Hugs, May
