Postcard #15 - Iceland

This week finds us in Iceland.  I chose a picture I found on the internet of a church in Iceland that was actually covered in green grass.  Picture was printed in black/white.  I tried something new and used my StampinUp markers to add the colored detail to the
photograph.  I paper pieced an Iceland Flag on top of the church.

Dear Ann:
Just a quick note to let you know I am on special assignment in Iceland doing a documentary.  This is a freelance assignment...expanding my horizons.  I have plans to meet Marc when I get back to the states.  Taking him to meet my parents.  I am so thrilled that you and John fell in love with him when you can to New York City for your kid free weekend.  Missed seeing the kids.  Give my love to John, Andrew & Isabella.
Love and Kisses ....Zoey

    How interesting. It looks like it grew out of the ground. You did a fabulous job with the markers and the flag!

    These made me wonder if they are warmer in Winter and if you have to hose the roof in Summer to keep it green???
    I really would like a Summer house like that one day... :)
    Love your postcard! Great image and good coloring! ♥

    I love the grass on the roof. We have a school near us that has a grass roof, it looks really cool :o)

    Super postcard of the turf house.

    I am visiting Jen and using her computer that is why this comment looks as though she has posted it.
