Postcard Challenge Week 36~ EGYPT

Well I'm back on track -last week we were in Hungary ( but I was on a mini holiday-so I will be posting card later) and Alexander wrote back to Melite some disturbing news [Remember come back for posting]- So this week Melite sends a card back to Alexander telling him of her upcoming trip to Egypt. Everyone knows Egypt is the land of Pharaohs, scarabs, King Tut , pyramids, the Nile River and of course the  land of sand dunes. Since I couldn't chose just one of these as my main topic; I honored them all on my  book page.

Front of Card

Did this watercolor based on a photo I found on the internet-

Thought it depicts so much of Egypt in one setting.

Loved the pyramids in the background and the

camel caravan was a great subject.

 

 

Back of Card

Correspondence:

"My Dearest Alexander,

I'm so sorry that you were injured on my behalf-

So since we now know Reuben (the waiter) left the restaurant

so quickly in Austria; is it possible he knew you were

on your way to talk to him?

Since I'm still not able to recall things,

I'm going back to the Neurologist to try a new treatment.

I'm going to Egypt in a few weeks -

Can WE meet there?

Miss you.

Melite"

Page in Book





Well as you can see I found this amazing

picture of the map of Egypt on-line.

Done in Liquidtex inks and pen.

The image on left is a die-cut from

K& Co, the other images are stamps.They

were colored using twinkling H2O's.

(Not sure you can see but they glister

in the light). The title was cut

from an ad in a  travel magazine and colored

with Gold Posca paint pen
