Distant Places

 
For this week´s Sunday Postcard Art challenge, I´ve chosen "Distance" as my theme. Maybe you remember a card of mine that I´ve made for an SPA challenge themed Numbers in 2020 and that illustrated the situation we´ve all been in back then - Corona. I had called this card Distance, and in 2024 I felt the need to make another card illustrating Distance that has nothing to do with that crisis that I hope wé´ve let behind us. So, in 2024 thinking of Distance shouldn´t make us think of social distance anymore but of distant places, distant friends, and maybe walls and borders we want to overcome.

Rise & Shine

 
It´s such a pity that scans don´t show shimmer and shine! My card for this week´s Sunday Postcard Art challenge themed "Rise and Shine" was made using Mica sprays and shimmering watercolours, and both don´t show on this scan, sorry ... I´ve used stamps from Visible Image and Dina Wakley here that went together well.

Bluebird

 

Though we don´t have bluebirds here, I´ve tried to capture the colours of a bluebird (Hüttensänger in German) for my card for this week´s Sunday Postcard Art challenge. Hope you like it!

In Germany, we don´t have many colourful birds. I wish we had bluebirds, blue jays, cardinals, and all those colourful birds you have in the U. S., but I really love those that we have here and treasure them ...
