I have a Christmas card to share today, that features a cute Penny Black snowman stamp called 'Sweet Snowman'. I stamped him on to watercolour paper, extrended the line of the snowy ground a little each side using a black gel pen, then coloured him using watercolour pencils. I added a sentiment (from the 'Scribbly Christmas' set by Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous), then carefully cut around the top of the image. I made a simple background for the snowman by embossing a piece of watercolour effect paper (from the 'Mystery Marbles' pad by Craft Sensations) using an old Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder...sanding over the raised areas to reveal some of the white core.
