The stamp depicts the Arc De Triompe and it`s symbol of power. I thought the background tied in with the sketchy nature of the stamp.
A typical French cafe. Can you smell the coffee? I can taste the fresh bread.
Happy Birthday Eiffel Tower!! I understand it is 130 years old. The tower was not seen as an icon when first built but now the big iron lady is well loved. It was the tallest monument in the world when first built and was used to carry out a number of experiments. I like the way the stamp illustrates the setting of the building and the other stamps work well together.
It`s interesting that the issue of these stamps coincided with the fire at Notre Dame. The fire fighters did an amazing job of rescuing the building. I`m sure their bravery and dedication inspired us all.
Venice is an amazing city. I would love to visit. Unique with it`s canals and wonderful architecture. It is such a colourful place that I used a riot of colour on the bag.
I am fascinated by masks. The Venetian masks were traditionally worn for the Carnival but were also used at balls and other occasions to hide a person`s identity. I layered the stamp to get a more dimensional effect.
There are two mask stamps which come with the set.
The stamps give the look of being sketched. I would love to ride on a gondola and this scene is appealing.
I thought a more monotone colour gave the scene a tranquil feel.
I also like it using more colour.
