PBSC May - Anything Goes (Optional 'Use Patterned Papers')

It's the first Saturday of the month, so that means it's time for a new Penny Black Saturday Challenge...where the theme is:

'Anything Goes'
or
'Use Patterned Papers'

As usual, we are sponsored by the awesome 1-2-3 Stitch:
Prize - a $20 voucher!

The image on my card is a lovely little vintage Penny Black wood mounted stamp called 'Butterfly Hedgehog', that I found in a charity shop over the Easter holiday. I stamped it on to watercolour paper, then coloured it using watercolour pencils. I paired it with some papers from the 'Bumblebee's Dance' pad by The Paper Boutique...distressing the edges a little, then adding some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen. The sentiment stamp is from the 'What This!' set by Anita Jeram for Colorado Craft.


I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
