Reading about Romania I was fascinated with the stories of the white storks, the origin of the baby bringing stork stories. There is a big project underway to save them as lots are being killed because they are nesting atop of electricity pylons and then getting electrocuted. I found a picture of them and played about with it in Serif's Photolab before printing it and added some colour with Promarkers.
My page background is some of the earliest Romanian writing with the shield of Romania and a picture shaped like a map of the country showing some of the sites. The pocket shows the beautiful Romanian red peony, actually a first day cover when they made a stamp showing the peony.

Yea someone did a card about the endangered storks in Romania- I almost did that but it didn't seem to fit with my storyline- Love the page as well.
ReplyDeleteYour postcard is wonderful! Love it. Your page is very creative too. I had no idea about the poor storks. Hope they find a solution.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful postcard, Jen. And thanks for enlightening me about the storks. That was new to me. And thanks also for the get well wishes for my dh.
