PA: Faux Postage Stamp

In this swap we’ll create a postcard resembling a 4x6” postage stamp, including these 3 (three) basic parts:

1. Vignette
2. Frame or margin

3. Inscription(s):

    - place of issue
    - face value
    - title of design
   

Vignette – this is the central part of the stamp design. The vignette often depicts the profile of famous people on postage stamps. Sometimes, the vignette also shows animals, places, and other noteworthy objects. This will obviously be the senders choice, however, check partner profiles to confirm dislikes are avoided.

Frame or margin – this refers to the borders surrounding the stamp's main “vignette” design. Older stamp issues usually have narrow borders, whereas newer postal stamps have larger borders. A perfectly centered stamp has equal sizes of margin on all sides.

Inscriptions – these marks help in postage stamp identification. A postal stamp is inscribed with texts or information regarding its issuing state, district, or country, its face value, name of the design’s artist, and the title of the design. Stamp secret marks or microtext are (optional) hidden letters, numerical series, and other devices that are included in the stamp’s design to avoid counterfeiting.

Perforations are optional.
