This wonderful work of Lia Selina, a digital artist and illustrator from Russia, isn't really a New Year postcard, but could be one. It depict a girl dressed in a traditional russian costume, with a sarafan long to the ankles, a shirt with large sleeves, tight to wrists, and a richly decorated kokoshnik.
About the stamps

The third and the fourth are part of a series depicting coat of arms of russian cities. The series comprise many stamps issued over the years, but I found only the following:
