I like flowers, I like these roses, I like this card! :)
Of course, this card has absolutely amazing stamp!
I'm glad you liked this one Lena - You didn't receive a second flower card with a special edition stamp with bees? I've sent it almost 2 months ago...
ОтветитьУдалитьJoao, dance! :)
УдалитьIt's so strange but I received your card today )) on the next day after your question :)
It's really beautiful! Special edition stamp is absolutely AMAZING and FANTASTIC :)
I'm glad you liked it Lena!... I'll keep my eyes open for more special stamps to send you - it's a wonderful idea you have of putting the stamps scan with the postcard, I should have thought of that... maybe one day I'll start doing it to!
УдалитьHuh, ok :)
УдалитьWhen I only joined to postcrossing, I only liked postcards. But I then have seen how wonderful stamps may be. Sometimes I even like a stamp more than a postcard :)
Nope :(
