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.
