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.

  4. 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? =)

  9. 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.
