Today's card features a Whipper Snapper stamp called 'Birthday Beagle', which I stamped on to watercolour paper, then coloured using watercolour pencils. I made a simple background, by stamping a paw print background stamp (by Hobbycraft) on to teal card using 'Ground Espresso' Distress Ink. I distressed all of the edges a little, then added some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen. The sentiment is from the 'Birthday Bears' set by Penny Black.
