Poinsettia Postage

Hi everyone.  I enjoy using this postage stamp with Christmas images.  Here's another to add to my stash of Christmas cards. :)

This time I stamped the Posted (Penny Black) image directly onto my card front in soft gray ink.  I used a small piece of mixed media card to stamp the poinsettia image in black ink, heat embossing in clear.  I sized the panel to fit inside of the posted stamp, sponging the lower portion before watercolour the image with distress inks.  I popped the panel up onto my card front for some dimension.  The sentiment is on the inside.
