The true background is a scan of some vintage sheet music. The background floral image is from the new Vintage Birthday Cards collage sheet. I went through some of the images I had scanned and found this girl. I made the girl image more of a sepia, so that it stands out just a little bit from everything else that is in bright color. I could have printed her out, colored her with Copic markers and scanned her back in. Then she would be in color and match everything else. The wings are a scan of pink German scrap wings that are sold at Collage Stuff. Everything else is brushed in, in the software.
I wanted this postcard to have kind of an etherial spring-like feel, but I added the grungy numbers to spice things up a bit. A little grunge is always good and sometimes a little, goes a long way! I also wanted a number to kind of tie in with the birthday card image. I think the birthday card images are versatile and are not limited to birthday-themed art. Birthdays past bring back memories.
