IC658 = Zazzle Souvenirs website - I chose this souvenir from the Netherlands to make a card for a Dutch friend who likes mixed media and collage, and whose birthday was two weeks ago!
I had a piece of mixed media cs that I'd drizzled masking fluid on. I sponged it in the Dutch colours of blue and orange, then stamped and heat embossed the windmill, lines from Gorgeous Grunge, and sentiment. Next, using Texture Paste, I glued down some torn dictionary pages with definitions of "windmill" and "Dutch". For a final touch I splattered some Archival Jet Black ink on the card.
Totally outside of my comfort zone, but fun to make!

Great take on this challenge! Love the book page additions with information contained thereon about windmills and all things Dutch. Lovely stamped Dutch windmill and sponged background with texture paste. Colors are fabulous as well!
