Meeting Shelty

Today's card features an old wood mounted Penny Black stamp called 'Meeting Shelty'...my best charity shop bargain of last year...it cost the princely sum of 20p! I stamped it on to watercolour paper, along with a sentiment from the 'Sending Sunshine' set by Simon Says Stamp, then coloured it using watercolour pencils. The papers are from the 'Bright Freshness' pad by Craft Sensations...I've nearly managed to use these all up....there's just one full sheet, and lots of snippets left! I distressed all of the edges, then added some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen.
