Decided to give a few old retired stamps some love today. The number “1” stamped on the balloon is a set from 1998! The sentiment is from a 2009 set. The pretty kitty is from a 2016 stamp set.
The balloon is adhered with foam tape to the image panel which is also popped up for some depth and dimension.
Every once in awhile its fun to dig through those stacks of oldie goldie stamps and use them!
