On Our Travels With Darcy's Postcard Challenge - Slovenia


The capital of Slovenia is Ljubljana, a city next to the river on which Jason and his Argonauts are said to have sailed with the Golden Fleece. Hence my postcard. The picture is a bookplate from a version of the story by Graves which I played with in Craft Artist, then printed and gilded. My book page shows the flag and some of the varied scenery to be found in Slovenia.

  4. Can not take credit for the picture as that is the bookplate but used a mask behind it in CA and blended the edges. Merged both of those with a gold and black background paper. Printed then used a glue pen to highlight the bits i wanted and added gilding flakes. Did the same round the edges. Is that cheating?
