I hope your week was splendid! It is Friday, so that means a new Playing in Paradise challenge. This week the talented Nina is hosting and she chose travel as her theme. You can create anything you like using any product you like so long as your project fits the theme and is a new post (not backdated). I hope you will join in!
I have to admit, I was completely stumped by this theme. I don't really have much in the way of planes, trains and automobiles. So, instead I went with a postcard. We always used to purchase postcards of places we went when we travelled, both for souvenirs and to send to loved ones back home. Just never mind that this one is a little Christmasy; the image is so gorgeous I couldn't wait till December to get it inky! :o)
Here is the front:

Supplies:
Paper - 300g hot pressed watercolour paper
Stamps - Stampendous Snowy Postcard for the image on the front and 'this side for the address' text on back, post card text (back) is from the Tim Holtz Urban Chic setInk - Black Stazon for stamping, Copic 0.3 black multiliner for the line dividing the card in half (this pen does not bleed, is waterproof and copic proof), Distress inks (antique linen, vintage photo, scattered straw, fired brick, and forest moss)
Other - glue pen and Dazzling Diamonds glitter for snow

A postcard is a fabulous interpretation! And how beautiful is this scene - I love how you've softly coloured the holly :)

I love how you did this Dawn, I think I had that stamp in my cart one time. and it was out of stock. I would like to travel to that little cottage in the woods, in a sleigh pulled by gorgeous Clidesdales,
Keep smiling and creating
I love your thinking on this one :-) It's such a clever design, and beautifully executed, really classy. Thanks for leaving me some love re my little furry friend too, I appreciate it :-) Donna xx
Your post card is perfect for the travel theme - same vintage colors, but the feel of being in a horse drawn carriage on a snowy evening - I've never really traveled in that mode before, have you? The image is gorgeous!
wow love this such an inspirational piece

I was really stumped with this challenge too. I LOVE your interpretation using a post card. And what a beautiful postcard it is!! That is one of my favorite stamps and I just love how you've coloured it and then added glitter in the snow. Very, very pretty.
