In 80 Days around the World for Heindesign

Hi Everyone,

the German company Heindesign has an ongoing challenge on Facebook. The theme is "In 80 Days around the World". The challenge is still open until 7/19. So I decided I need to play along. The requirement is a post card with a front and a backside.

Above you see the front. I used an iStencil for my background. Sponged in rainbow colors. Most of the little animals are by Cats on Appletrees. The plane and car are ancient wood stamps from my stash and the sentiment I created with my computer.

Here is the back of my postcard. I borrowed the post card stamps (Papertrey) from my sister. I used another iStencil for the cityscape. The balloon and clock are also ancient wood stamps. Masked them and sponged the rest.

And to make it more fun I created a little poem in German:

Schnell, schnell wir eilen,

koennen nicht verweilen.....

In 80 Tagen um die Erde

ob ich das denn schaffen werde?

Ich hoffe schon und sende Gruesse

an den Herrn Hein und seine Suesse

In English - sorry, could not make it rhyme.....

Lets move fast

we can not rest

In 80 days around the world

not sure if I'll be able to do that?

But I sure hope

and I send greetings

to Mr. Hein and his Sweetie

My envelope. If you want to participate you still have some time to send your postcard on its merry way!

Hope you liked this and thanks for visiting!
