Trimming the Tree

I have another Christmas card to share today, featuring another charity shop find...a Penny Black stamp called 'Trimming the Tree'. I stamped it on to watercolour paper, added a sentiment using a stamp from the 'Scribbly Christmas' set by Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous, then coloured the image using watercolour pencils. I was away from home when I made this card and didn't have any suitably coloured papers with me, so simply matted the image on to green and then red card before adding it to a kraft card blank.
