   First, a couple of remarks on coding:
   a) "span" is used for isolated words or phrases within a paragraph. For a complete paragraph you use "p" instead; for a larger section comprising more than one paragraphs, you use "div".
   b) You don't use separate html tags for the various elements of "style", if they are meant for the same chunk of text: you combine them in the same tag.

   Now, your post should be like that:
   

   <div style="background-color:#f7c4ee;height:160px;padding:1em;">
   IMAGE_CODE_HERE
   <div style="font-size:x-large;color:#000000;">
   TEXT_HERE
   </div>
   </div>

   Note well that this is a special case, because your text is shorter than the image, so you need the height command to make the background extend up to the end of the image. For a post where the text is longer, you would simply use this:
   

   <div style="font-size:x-large;color:#000000;background-color:#f7c4ee;padding:1em;">
   IMAGE_CODE_HERE TEXT_HERE
   </div>
