Removal

Recently a friend moved from the Netherlands here to the England. Last Friday afternoon she mentioned that she would need some cards she could send to relatives and friends to inform them about her new address. I offered my help (lol) and asked her when she would need the cards. Her answer: in 10 minutes ... and she was not joking!!!!!!!!!
Ok, no stamping, no cutting, no fancy paper .... to the rescue came the wonderful pool of images from Karen, the Graphics Fairy ... unfailing every time I am desperate for some specific images ...
Looking for some removal type graphics I found an old photo showing a wonderful old-fashioned truck

As time was in short supply we settled for creating a postcard with the truck and some sort of modification in the front and a postcard image from Antiques Images I used beforehand for the back .... I just made it in time with the design (lol) ..... The printing was another step. We found some slightly rough, really nicely textured paper for printing the postcards.

Once I had started to play with the truck I thought it would be nice to try a few things and also to get some more practise with GIMP... this is what I did, please feel free to use any of the images

My favourite colour for the frame is a darkish red with a hint of green ...

... next time I receive such a request I am definitely prepared (LOL).... Petra.
