On Our Travels with Darcy's Post Card Challenge - Brazil
This is such fun, after a very long ride from Austria to Spain and feeling a little saddle sore, the duo get a rest as they travel on a freight ship to Brazil. Once in Brazil what is more fun than a Carnival. My inspiration came from a digi kit from "The Studio" called Masquerade. I used the papers and elements to design the paper for the page of my book. I then created my postcard to echo the colours and style. The background is a variety of DI on glossy card. I then used a number of stamps, some embossed in gold, to build up the scene. Finally I added my face mask which I stamped on shrink plastic and my bike charm. The message to Jim ends with the confession that one of them is missing him very much.
