February exchange envelopes sent

I've had these stamps for quite some time, considering they were issued in 2010. I really wanted to like them, but they didn't inspire me at all. Then I received this beautiful painted envelope from Janet in 2014.

This made me realize that the stamps just needed the right backdrop in order to shine. I saw this image on the front of a free magazine.


And the whole set.

    you are so right - any stamp can be perfect - it just needs the right setting.

      Thanks. I hope they traveled well - the paper was quite soft.

    The painted envelope from Janet is gorgeous. And your set is fantastic I think. Perfect match for the stamps

      Thanks Eric - I agree on Janet's envelope - it is the only reason I even thought to use these stamps.
