Hi again, my third post today but I wanted to sneak in my project for Darcy's postcard challenge (pop over to her blog Art and Sole to find out all about it). This week we're making postcards from Spain. I'd planned a quiet weekend tucked away in my craft room but as usual things didn't go to plan and I had to grab a crafting fix this afternoon to make my postcard
Here's the front, I masked the edges of the card and stamped the image (from Chocolate's Baroque's Echoes of Italy stampsheet but it looks a bit Spanish lol). I added the sky with PanPastels and then rubbed out the colour from the stamped image and used Derwent Pastel pencils to colour the image.
On the back I've used Chocolate Baroque's mail art stamps and perforated postage paper.
It looks as though Jonathons brother romance is going more smoothly than his. I wonder if the young lovers will soon be reunited? I'm loving this challenge, there are so many fascinating stories developing, with all manner of romances developing and even dogs and fairies sending cards lol. I wonder if any of our travellers paths will cross en route ? I can't wait to get home from work tomorrow and find out how everyone's stories are developing
Right I'd better get to bed as its work in the morning.
Thanks for visiting today

Another stunning creation from you Claire, it looks so warm and inviting in this postcard, unlike the cold snap were having just now.

Looks wonderfully Spanish to me - love the colouring of the sky & the ground. I can see why you're having fun with the stories....... have my hands full with the CB tag swap but this looks very interesting indeed.
