On Our Travels With Darcy's Postcard Challenge - Czech Republic



I have this Dark Room Door stamp of Prague so my choice for the postcard was easy. I stamped it in Walnut stain distressed ink and water brushed the colour on. My page shows a view of the city and a map of the country. The Czech Republic is famous for its glassware so I used a photo of a piece called "Crystal Vault" by the artist Jennifer Ashley King for the pocket. This piece won the Stanislav Libensky award in 2011.

On Our Travels With Darcy's Postcard Challenge - Dubai

Confess to not feeling inspired by Dubai but the horse racing there is something special hence my postcard. For my page I thought I would contrast the changes that have taken place there in a relatively short time.
Do take a look at the fellow travels on this journey, they produce some fabulous art work here.

On Our Travels With Darcy's Postcard Challenge - Greece


Been away so a bit rushed this week. My memories of holidays in Greece are of fabulous flowers cascading over balconies and sitting on the beach looking at beautiful blue seas. So my postcard is a view from the balcony and my page a beach. Both created in Serif's Craft Artist. Still need to post my card! Do take a look at all my fellow travelers and their lovely art work here.

On Our Travels With Darcy's Postcard Challenge - Egypt


Have a great set of stamps from Habico with lots of images and hieroglyphics so just had fun stamping these to make my postcard and my black and white page. My pocket is a piece of papyrus my partner brought me from Egypt last year. May try stamping on it when I get more time but did not want to mess it up.
