I have this adorable card using the Scarved Sweeties (Penny Black), inside of the Posted stamp, which is stamped in Archival light gray ink. I stamped the Sweeties in black pigment ink before heat setting and then watercoloured with Distress inks. I used the matching die to cut out the image (Posted Cut Out). The background is an oldie, but goodie ... embossing folder from Cuttlebug. I think it might be one of the very first embossing folders I bought over 25 years ago. :) I popped the postage stamp image over top and added a red die-cut "Joy" from AliExpress.

These images are so fun to watercolour and the cutie bears keep me smiling the whole time. I added some pink cheeks and then splattered the image with diluted white paint to finish.Sending this card to the following challenges:
2) Merry Little Christmas Challenge #59 - Anything Christmas Goes
