Little Snowy

I have a Christmas card to share today...featuring a mini version of Penny Black's 'Snowy' from the 'Jolly Friends' set. I extended the snowy ground on the image using a black gel pen, then coloured him using watercolour pencils and carefully cut him out. I snowy paper behind him was a freebie with a magazine quite some time ago...I stamped a sentiment (from a Pollycraft for C. C. Designs) and doodled a simple border using a black gel pen.
