Fun with the Western Postage Stamps

 

I needed to send a thank you note to a male friend and wanted to use one of the Western stamps. 

The idea for the design came from Jean's mail art blog, Pushing the Envelope Jean sometimes designates envelopes she receives as steal-worthy. If you need an idea for mail art, Jean's blog is full of inspiration.

  2. I haven't seen these Western stamps but I do love your cowboy. I like how his hat covers his eyes and his mustache is long like Yosemite Sam's. Hope you see some sun today. hugs-Erika
