Finnish post asked me to design Valentine's day* stamps for this year, 2011, and here they are.
Stamp set is called Ystävyyden oksalla, Branches of Friendhip. Miniature sheet includes 5 different stamps, all have a free form (not traditional square).
In addition to stamps I designed a Fist Day Cover, Cancellation, and set of six different postcards.
