On Our Travels with Darcy's Postcard Challenge - Israel

I looked to an Israeli water colour artist for my inspiration this week. The pocket of my page is a picture of the original painting by Dan Partouche and I had a go at reproducing something in the style of using Distress inks, stamps and brushes and a few freehand touches. The rest of my page is a picture off the web of the mountains in Israel in full flower.
I did struggle this week, the hardest country so far for me. Looking forward to seeing what you all do, always so inspiring.

    Beautiful postcard in such lovely colours. Love the water colour effect. Your travel page is so colourful with the wild flowers it must be a sight to see in real life.
