Embedded Image Postage stamp card

This is probably a bit too keen, but when I saw the technique featured on Technique Time Tuesday I just knew I wanted to try it right away! It's a Christmas card again, sorry, but such lovely traditional colours!



I made the four little 'postage stamp' images as embedded images as described in the tutorial here.  Lots of fun this bit! The rest of my card is  bit of a DP 'party'  as I layered up and twisted the shapes I cut out of various papermania papers with my nestabilities dies.  there are 4 red rhinestones and the edges are ribbon to give t a bit of a 'Scandinavian' feel.  Here's a close up of the four little stamps, the flash has wiped out a bit of the colour I'm afraid, but you get the idea.


 I am also going to enter this card into Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge where the theme for your christmas card had to be 'p'... postage stamp, and in to the Crafty Hazelnuts Extra Christmas Challenge for February where anything goes as long as it's Christmas.
