"5 colours" - colouring postcards with crude remarks

A booklet of 23 cards, bought several years ago, coloured by me a few weeks ago using only five colours. I found those double-tip felt-tip pens by Marabu

and I turned six coloured cards into a collage of curse words

on top left: "That wasn't very smart! But it'll definitely make for a cracking story!"

on top middle: "Chaos and commotion"

on top right:  The expression "I'm going to turn into a deer here" means that someone is on the verge of despair or is in danger of losing their mind. It is used to express that a situation, a task or a person is getting on one's nerves terribly.

 

below left: "Just relax already! Damn it!" (exactly it says "damn shit")

below middle:  "I am dissatisfied with the overall situation"

below right: " chill out a bit from your base"

The "Place du Tertre"  

48°53′12″N 2°20′27″E

is a square in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, France. Only a stroll away from the Basilica of the Sacré Cœur, it is near the summit of the city's elevated Montmartre quarter. The Place du Tertre was the heart of the prestigious Benedictine Montmartre Abbey, established in 1133 by King Louis VI. Montmartre Abbey thrived through the centuries and until the French Revolution.

 By the way: I assembled this one not by the shape of the pieces, but by the colours. Started with violet, then turned to green, sand, blue, yellow and finally red :-D
