Sahara

This is my entry for the Sunday Postcard Art challenge where the theme is (Travel). My digital 4x6 postcard is made from using a fashion magazine image, digitally cut sunbursts from a painted journal page, old map images and text. Gradient filters and reduced opacity used for a sandy , worn look.
