2014 Winter Fun Forever First Class Postage Stamps Style:25 Books of 20 (500 Stamps) Japanese irisesWith four playful designs, Winter Fun stamps celebrate some of the seasons most enjoyable activities: ice skating, making snow angels, building snowmen, and bird watching. The art for the ice skaters stamp was painted with acrylic on plywood with a dry brush technique to give the illustration a textured, folk art feel. The art for the other three stamps was hand sketched and then digitally manipulated.
