A Welcome Letter




For this week's challenge at Three Muses 
For some reason I couldn't post the image directly from my computer but had to go via Photobucket.
Credits to Pixel Music for the background which I turned into a giant postage stamp, and to kingkongphoto123 on Flickr for the main image. 
The letters etc. are from a CD of vintage ephemera I bought a while ago.

    Beautiful, Ali! I agree, to bad more real letters aren't written any more.

    I love that you made it one huge stamp Ali! Very creative! I used to really enjoy writing letters, but nowadays it's usually emails... still, I suppose it's the thought that counts, eh? =)

    Wow! You've found the perfect image for this theme. Your collage is superb, Ali. I love the vintage look with the muted background and stamps with just a flash of colour here and there. Scrumptious artwork.

    I love this! I used to make collages like this a lot when I was younger. I especially loved the vintage look. Thanks for taking me back to those days :)
