Todays offering is a new challenge from Something Completely Different. It was Gez's choice this week and the subject is VINTAGE!and we are making postcards through the month of July! Please pop over to see what lovely crafting thier design team have come up with...its really inspiring!!!
I consider myself very lucky beacause after my FIL died we found huge piles of vintage paperwork, cards, letter and photographs. So for this challenge I have scanned a rather unusual postcard. It is a birthday postcard sent to his mother from my late FIL Douglas way back in 1936. I scanned both sides for you to see too. The lovely photo of Douglas himself was taken in 1941 when he joined the war, so the dates nearly tally!
Thank you for popping over to have a looksee, HUGS XXXX

I can see the copper Glimmer Mist - you must have got the angle just right! What a fab take on "vintage" and how lovely to have that original postcard to scan, it looks wonderful! Love the postmark on his head, very distinguished ;o)
