Art and Sole Postcard Challenge Week 1 - Austria

Here we are at week one of Darcy's Postcard Challenge and the first stop is AUSTRIA. As I'd just treated myself to a Klimt inspired digi image it was perfect timing to choose the home of that fabulous artist Gustav Klimt.

I printed the digi onto canvas paper and coloured the image with Promarkers. Boy was I glad that my Sister got me some fine nib attachments for Christmas!! I've also used Distress Inks in Antique Linen and Tea Dye, as well as adding some gold card highlights cut from a Christmas card I received (upcycling - got to love it!).



Here's a close-up showing how lovely and sparkly those gold bits are. 










The back of my postcard shows the beginning of correspondence between two people who have never met...yet. 'M' is sending the postcard to 'S' - a Mr S Sullivan of Brighton. But who is M? How does she know of Mr S, and why does she think she can get away with being so downright flirty?!?


Who knows where the journey will take them next week?.....

    Hmm she is indeed a proper flirt. Can't wait to see where this one goes. I'm a Klimt fan too - was too good an opportunity to miss to have some fun with him.
