Today's card was a really quick make.. I found the image ('Cat Nap' by Penny Black) in my box of already stamped images, so I added a sentiment (from the 'Sending Sunshine' set by Simon Says Stamp), and coloured it using watercolour pencils. I trimmed it down to a square, added some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen, then added it to my card blank using 3D foam pads.
