Today's card features a 'new to me' stamp that I picked up in a charity shop over the Christmas break. It's called 'Prank Call' by Penny Black...I love that those naughty little mice are dialling 'the cat'! I stamped it on to watercolour paper, then coloured it using watercolourpencils. I added a simple 'hello' sentiment (from the 'Sketched Flowers' set by Simon Says Stamp), then distressed the edges a little before adding some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen.

Hey, Helen. I came to your blog because I was going to comment on a card that someone put on our House Mouse blog and I happened to see your cute Prank Call card. Love it. I just started collecting some Penny Black images and wish I had more. I had a look see through the rest of your blog and saw some really cute and lovely Penny Black cards. Several of which I'd love to have! I also became your newest follower.
