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.
