margaret lammerts

the envelope has a pretty swoop of watercolor. the front of the card has half the tree cut out and folded back to reveal a pretty pattern underneath. then, on the inside the pattern is actually something she lettered and scanned and photoshopped. very nice card and envelope

  3. After all these years I forgot about this card and envelope. Tried to see the year on the postal frank, but know it's not 2011. Loved looking at all the work you have uploaded! Keep it up, Jean.

  5. How nice to hear from you Margaret. Next time I am *in the stacks* I will check to see what year it was...I know it's from a very long time ago.

    1. Margaret - maybe you can date it by the stamp....knowing what year that stamp was issued might give a rough idea.

  6. Hi again.......Well I did what you suggested and found the stamp was issued in 2000. In my search found the artist was a mouth-painter who painted this stamp for Canada Post Christmas issue.
