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 bears are so cute, I really must try and get a hold of that stamp and die set, it's always out of stock when I look! Sorry to hear you'd suffered flood damage, luckily we have solid floors but it was quite scary to see water lapping at the foundations! :)
Hey, I have that oldie but goodie, too!! I didn't think embossing had been around that long - me either for that matter!
So darling, Loll!

We forget we have perfectly good crafty stuff and just buy more, a wonderful EF and image, love your card. x
These scarved sweeties are sweet indeed! Beautifully colored and framed. That's one of my earliest embossing folders, too, and still a favorite. It makes a beautiful background layer for your darling image!
Adorable sweeties!
This is not only adorable it's beautifully painted Loll. Love the shading on this too.
What a sweet little pair they are! This is a darling card, Loll!
These different bear stamps from PB are all so sweet and give wonderful opportunities for colouring which you do brilliantly Loll, and love the postage stamp shaped mat which you have put them on, and the snowflake embossing folder used in the background goes perfectly...a gorgeous Christmas card. x
Such cute bears and great coloring, as always. I think I have that oldie but goodie embossing folder also, purchased approximately 20 years (or more) ago. TFS
How adorable, Lolly! I love these bears peering over the fence! The embossed snowy background is perfect to surround this sweet scene!
Absolutely ADORABLE Loll! Those PB bears are just so darn cute and you've colored them up beautifully as usual!! I love that postage frame die too (one of my new favorite purchases!) and I think I have that old embossing folder too! Sweet, sweet card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Such a sweet image! And I love it being framed with the postage stamp die and layered on the embossed snowflakes.
Your Sweeties are aptly named and beautifully colored, Lolly! It's such a fun image of them making a long walk to hang on the fence and wait for? Santa? The mailman with cards?! The postage stamp frame and vintage e/f are perfect. And it will not surprise you to know that I have that very same e/f from when I first started, too! Thank you for getting inky with my IDEAS this week! Love, Dolly
So adorable, made me smile too xx😃
I'd be smiling too while coloring those darling bears, Loll. And I have that snowflake folder too.
Darling and so sweet, these bears bring joy!
Darling bears, colored beautifully, Loll - just love the frame too!!
what an adorable scene, so perfect for a postage stamp ♥
