This is my entry for The Three Muses Challenge this week (Postal Art). The card is digital ( which I printed out onto cardstock) and I decided to make my own envelope in the botanical theme by hand. The envelope I traced and cut out from artist papers (Stampington) folded, glued and hand painted the inside. I added handmade tags, stamps and mixed ephemera for fun!Today marks the one year anniversary of my blog! What a year this has been... I have met so many wonderful artists around the world and have learned so much from everyone. All of the wonderful challenge sites have kept me busy and in love with collage and I hope to be able to keep up (there are so many each day)! Many thanks to all who have left their generous comments- you keep me going and striving to be better. You are all truly inspirational with your beautiful art.

But the language of images is common to all ;-)
