Here we are in Week 7 on Darcy's Postcard Challenge, I'm late today, but I'm here. Before I dare to go to view my fellow travellers I like to post my card, or I may become too intimidated with the wonderful pieces of art and give up. Fortunately I have enjoyed three holidays in Wales, so it wasn't a hard task for me this week. My card shows a symbol of Wales is a Red Dragon, a daffodil is the Welsh flower. Wales in Welsh is Cymru. The small village with the long name, I have given the English version of the name. Castles are abound in Wales. I greatly enjoyed an enactment of Medieval Tournament, with sword fighting, jousting, etc at Beaumaris Castle. The gold coin represents the gold found in Wales, it is customary for Royal persons to have their wedding rings made from Welsh gold.
I am now using an owl stamp for the postcards to and from Hermione and her parents.
Oh my gosh, could there actually be people living there? There's never enough space on forms to fill in a city with so many letters! :)

ReplyDeleteI love your choice of images and the colours you've used, great card! It has a really nice feel to it! M
ReplyDeleteAre the daffodils a rubber stamp? I thought maybe they were hand drawn at first. Love your card! You covered it all!
