Three Muses Challenge- Envelope Art


I went in a Steampunk sort of direction for this challenge. I find mail art very interesting. I wonder what they think of it at the Post Office...

Anyhow, I used a texture that I made a while ago for the background. It's available to download on my Flickr page and is free for your personal use. I used mostly brushes in this piece and some overlays to keep a monotone palette. The handy hand is from the Graphics Fairy. I even made the Steampunk stamp, also with brushes.

Thanks for visiting.
