Sunday Stamps - favorites

Today's theme for Sunday Stamps is Easter or a favorite. I don't have anything Easter, so I chose favorite.

Eric sent me one of his envelopes that celebrate classic film. 



The stamps he used are gorgeous - they are printed using the intaglio technique, so have some raised lines, giving them a great tactile element that you can't appreciate in the scan.




The two stamps are from a set of 6 issued in 2014 celebrating photographic cameras





Here's a link to a series of design photos showcasing the stamps at Behance.

For links to more favorite stamps, and maybe some for Easter, head over to Sunday Stamps.

  1. I'm intrigued by the stereocycle, an interesting sheet. Love the detail in the Behance link really brings home how much work goes into the stamps.

    1. Glad you liked the bonus link. Amazing how far cameras have come that we can now use a phone to take a photo in an instant.

  2. It is not strange that these are favourites. There are a similar (in some ways) set issued in 2016, about pens. I would like to receive both!

  3. What a brilliant sheet of stamps, I can see why you class them as a favourite.
