Another clever envelope that Eric sent to me in 2017. Added in a neat way, where Eric cut the envelope along the stripes, the frogs look like they are climbing over and under parts of the envelope. Fortunately it did not get damaged by the postal sorting machines.…

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





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…
