Finnish Greetings in the best possible way

This stamp has me totally excited. This week there were a few FIRST's for Me . . . receiving postcards from friends from around the world - I call them friends because its quite an effort to find a decent postcard, a beautiful stamp and then the trouble to send it to a stranger, which after all that, becomes a postcrossing friend. My first from Malta - I have shared already and what a stunning holiday destination that must be - Its on my Bucket list. My first from FINLAND - this is also on my bucket list together with a cruise around the Northern Europe - Denmark, Sweden and Germany. The card was of the snow capped trees and the moonlight shining on them - I shall show it later, but the most exquisite part of the card, was the STAMP!! "Ornately beautiful gold-embossed swan High-profile Finnish illustrator and designer Klaus Haapaniemi will unveil his first foray into stamp design in May, with the release of his Gold swan. The stamp’s ornate decorations, rendered in gold foil, are inspired by eastern Finnish and Slavic cultural traditions." What do you think of this beautiful collectors stamp. I am a lucky girl indeed!
