Personalizing a Favorite Stamp with an Important Event
Some fun stuff from Stephen M. Lawson
The favorite stamp - issued May 14, 1938
Using First Day of Issue Cancel elements, a First
Day of Life Cancel
was created with the event place, date and time.
Using a scan of a favorite stamp issued shortly before
the event,
the special circular date cancel was overlaid.
Using the original stamp scan and PictWave
freeware,
the eagle became animated.
Overlaying the special cancel on the animation frame
gave the final result.
All of the above was done using scanned images, ColorIt!
and PictWave -
on an iMac, of course.
