So this week saw the start of Darcy's Postcard Challenge, you can read all about it here and here. On Monday the first country was announced - which was Austria! The Sound of Music sprang to mind but I thought it might be best to do some research before I started! I eventually decided on what to do and finished my postcard tonight...
So, I've gone with a Klimt inspired mountain scene. Of course, I'm no Klimt, but you get the gist!
And the back...
I still need to decorate my page that the postcard will be mounted onto - but then I also need to sort out my book. I had made one but felt that the postcards were too snug in the pockets. However, I found an old photo album that I never got around to using - I think it'll be perfect for the job, it just needs a bit of work...
The next country is announced tomorrow morning, hopefully inspiration will strike more quickly this week!
hi Marie, it's gorgeous, truly inspired to have klimt as the mountains, though my favourite bit is the little flowers at the front, love them.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I really love how you've tied the Austrian mountains with Klimt - inspired.
ReplyDeletebeautiful !
ReplyDeleteIt's great. I'm still waiting for inspiration for the book to hold the cards in... the actual artwork was the easy bit! Mind you it seemed to take four times as long to create a small piece of art as it does one 10 times the size!
ReplyDeleteI adore this... Well done maz... Also lovely little story!
ReplyDeleteLovely card! Clever story!
ReplyDeleteGreat card and even better story....
ReplyDeleteI really admire the strong graphic component of this postcard. Just really love the design. Especially the contrast between the straight lines of the land (mountains) with the willowy lines of the air (clouds). Looking forward to seeing more of your work! *smiles* Norma
