For today's CAS-mail art and MMJ027-postcard art.
My brother orders a lot of stuff from Europe, mostly eastern Europe; he saves the stamps for me, these are from Ukraine and Serbia. I found the larger piece of ephemera in my old card box, a business card for Eben J. Beane, from Providence, RI. Don't know what Mr. Beane did for a living, there is a boat on it. Many times, old postcards, business cards or calling cards didn't have much to do with the people who used them. This is for my brother whose birthday is a month from today. He likes to fish.

How cool that you are using some of the stamps he saved for you and sending them back to him on his card. I love the collage and the fisherman ( that is a story sized fish). Great card.

Awesome postage stamps. I have a drawer full that I have saved, but none like the ones you used. Fun fisherman image for your brother. That is one big fish. Great idea to use some of the stamps he saved for you on his card!
