"Historic Windmills" – #68 Windmill – Postcard

This is my entry for Digital Whisper theme #68 Windmill.

This is also my entry for this week's Take A Word challenge, "Print." I tried to create the look of a vintage tourist postcard. The words are copied from a book by the Fairfield Historical Society. I took liberties with the Bronson Windmill, because it doesn't look like the image that I used. You can see a few pictures I took of it here.

The font is Romeodn Medium.

Vintage Christmas

"Christmas Fairy" - Christmas Tag

This is a gift tag I made for Christmas. Unfortunately the scan is washed out.

I also created a postcard which is here.

I did a "re-do" on this when I realized the pine cones on the bottom should've been facing upward. This time, the print out was purple instead of gold, and the scan is very washed out. I think I need a new printer.
