Postcard Challenge 2012

Week 14 Singapore...

Jeez this was by far the worst week so far for me. I changed my mind so many times and hated everything I did. I hope you had better luck than me.

I still hate what i ended up with, but life is too short to worry about it, so i called it done...

The page in the book...collaged squares, stencilling and some fabric cars..













the card in the envelope..













Front of the card, quick sketch...and I do mean quick, cos I was totally fed up by this point...patterned tape around the edges and fabric flags.














Back of the card...Charlie is on the trail of the combination for the briefcase..













IMPORTANT...PLEASE READ...


As this is Easter weekend, many of you may not be around on Monday, so I have decided to reveal the next country today.

We are off to ICELAND...

  4. Love the Grand Prix theme for your entry. I like it - very vibrant and different from previous weeks. It is good to have a change! Thanks for Iceland as I am on holiday next week. Can get cracking.

  12. I love what you decided on! Great colours and fab sketch.
    I also struggled this week, I went there years ago and still have loads of memories but couldn't decide what to do with any of them! Perhaps it's excessive chocolate that's making me go slow...
    Happy hols!

  14. You're crazy! I think your page is colorful and great. And you did an amazing job on your car. I keep making the cards, but as yet no pages. They are sitting in a pile. Going to have to work on that! :)

  16. Well I think it's cool! I have definitely found some weeks harder than others. This week I just couldn't get Manhatten Transfer singing 'on a little street in Singapore' out of my head!

  17. I love that your stamp fits your car theme (I love little details like that!) I would have never come up with car racing for Singapore because I rely on quick browsing Google. haha. Great theme and well done!
