Hello! and hoping to be back with you more fully very soon, for a mid-month Simply A Moment - given there are thirty-one days in October, I will be posting and linking on Wednesday 16th this week. In the meantime, should you like vintage or anything postal related (or both!), please do help yourself to the psd. file I created for my recent postcard. It will work in the full version of Photoshop and in Elements. As well as the background, I've included layers for the the postmark and a mask for the stamp, so that you can drop in any photo of your own to create your very own stamp :). If you'd like a printable version as a pdf, please do let me know in the comnents and I'll happily prepare one for you!.Got an appetitie for more wonderfully postal-themed posts? Julie's and Notes on Paper is the place to go! See you Wednesday?

I'm sure you've just made some postcard fans very happy with this.
Just to let you know - I only have the free to download GIMP software on my laptop and I managed to open it too. I had to open GIMP first - then drag the file across into it - but after that it worked fine.
So that might help some people who don't have PS.
Thanks so much for linking up to Going Postal again Alexa - I've popped it on to the board: http://www.pinterest.com/notesonpaper/going-postal/
Hoping you're staying drier than I've been on this wet + blustery day!

Thank you Alexa, I was so admiring of your postcard! I have Elements but don't use it enough to be confident. However I will download your post card and have a play. It could be my Artist Date one week! ;)
