Today's card features an old Penny Black Christmas stamp called 'Deer In Skates'. I stamped him onto a snippet of watercolour paper, along with a sentiment using a stamp from the 'Christmas Hats' set by Anita Jeram for the Colorado Craft Company, then coloured it using watercolour pencils. I paired it with snippets of papers from the 'Christmas Stack by DCWV...distressing the edges, before adding faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen. I matted the layers onto some festive red card, then added it to a kraft card blank.
