For Jean's Falliday Fest challenge to use a real postage stamp. I had this panel already stamped from a previous project. I utilized the Rock N Roll technique with the poinsettias, inked up & stamped off, then rolled the tips of the petals a second time in the Cherry Cobbler before stamping.
Today, I die-cut the panel with a postage stamp looking edge, die-cut a gold foil layer for underneath and put both on a Shaded Spruce card base. The cancelled postage stamp of the nativity was perfect for this meaningful Christmas message.
Final touch was some gold stickles on the dots in the centers of the poinsettias.
Also, I am submitting this card for the Divine Designs challenge to use a Bible verse. This one today is Psalms 96:11. Thanks, Julie!
Thanks Jean! I collect interesting postage stamps, but rarely use them.
Thanks for looking!

I love the simplicity of your layout, and how it is so striking, those lovely poinsettias, and even your choice of colour on the sentiment make a lovely contrast to that beautiful stamp.

Beautiful! The design, the flower technique, and the postage stamp are fantastic together. The headline is perfect with the stamp and all the gold accents add up to fabulous...
