Old Postcard

Old Postcard

This is my first attempt at a montage.

I started with a RAW image taken of Winkle Street (Barrington Row, Calbourne, Isle of Wight) on a recent trip to the Isle of Wight.

I converted to B&W and added layers and textures, added a lady and dog from a copyright free vintage photograph. I then sepia toned in an attempt to create an ‘old photograph’ I then added a border, self created and placed all on a black background to give an appearance of a photo album page.

I hope you like it – I greatly enjoyed creating it.
