Make It Monday #118 : Photo postcard

My second MIM is a simple one but what a great idea.  Our challenge is to find a photograph we've taken and turn it into a postcard using a PTI greeting stamped right on the photo.  The flip side to make it look like a postcard and done right, it could actually be sent as a postcard.

Still limited on PTI stamps, but I did have just the right sentiment "just thinking of you" from PTI's Mat Stack 2 collection.  I then used the sentiment again for the dividing line on the back side and drew the address lines in by hand.

I took this photo (digi-scoped) of the Northern Mockingbird about one month ago on Desmond Rd which is part of the Cosumnes River Preserve near Galt, CA.  They are nesting now and the activity is very entertaining.

  10. Wow i'm amazed at the photos you get with that scope. is the background just the natural BG, or did you enhance it. I love the lines of color and how they blend. incredible. using the sentiment as the dividing line is truly genius!
