Deer in Skates

I have a Christmas card to share today...featuring an old Penny Black stamp called 'Deer in Skates'. I stamped it on to a snippet of watercolour paper, along with a sentiment using a stamp from an old Lili of the Valley set, then coloured it using watercolour pencils. For the background, I used papers from the 'Christmas Stack' by DCWV, distressing the edges and adding some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen.
