POST CARD CHALLENGE Week 31~DENMARK

Well this week has been more difficult than last- Especially when I got home today to find out my posting did not post correctly ; therefore I'm entering the whole update tonight ! So Sorry for asking everyone to check out my blog a second time this week!

While researching  Denmark I found out  a few interesting facts about the country. First of all, did you know Denmark is "The HAPPINESS Country in the WORLD"? Secondly it was once known as a "Land of Many colors" - Thirdly Denmark is home to Legoland, Tivoli park ( reminds me of the modern day amusement park with lots of famous artwork mixed in )-Denmark has the world's biggest population of cyclist and of course they eat many strange foods such as smoked Eels (yuck!) I mostly thought of Denmark being cold , land of vikings , dragons, mermaids and the place where Hans Christian Anderson wrote about. Boy was I wrong -it really is a beautiful and colorful country. So with that in mind I wanted to make a colorful card and page.

FRONT OF CARD

This card is based on a travel ad from the 1930's -

How much more colorful could a sunset be than this?

Done in copic markers

BACK OF CARD

Correspondence:

My Dear Alexander,

So I hope while you were on your "Mission"you received my cards?

Am I correct in who Ruben was?

Because I'm still having visions of dark rooms and I'm not sure if this is my answer.

Anyways I stopped in Denmark (Copenhagen is so colorful and friendly!),

to check on purchasing sheep for my farm (no luck)-

Are you heading close to my home soon?

I miss you and long to have a deep conversation with you ! 

Until we meet  soon,

Melite"

PAGE IN BOOK

Lots of color here - First of all the sky, pier,

water and ships were done in water colors.

It is  Nyhavn Pier in the Copenhagen region.

(very  unique and colorful entry to a town).

Many of these buildings are restaurants & cafes.

Most photos  I found of this area was crowded 

 with lots of people strolling Hand-in-hand

(remember Happiest country). The buildings were

done in Prismacolor colored pencils. The title

of the page is in tribute to Legoland- I found a

Lego font and spelled out Denmark.

For good luck I added the flag of Denmark too.

COMPLETED PAGE

WELL SORRY For the technical issues this week -

Also  Thanks to everyone  for all the positive

 support these last 32 weeks-

Can't wait to view all the cards

from this week!

Happy Creating !
