I made this for my Dad's Christmas card. Plain and simple, but appropriate because he has a problem with mice, and with being too soft-hearted to deal with them properly.
A Penny Black stamp, stamped twice with StazOn Timber Brown and embossed with clear EP. I stamped it a third time to cut out a template for the embroidery, which I wrote by hand. I coloured the images with H2Os and watercolour pencils, and layered them up. Then I just stuck it onto a piece of K&Co Christmas paper - quick and easy.
It's also for the DD central theme, because this makes me think of Beatrix Potter's Tailor of Gloucester.

Sabrina, this is just the best of the best right here! Your stamping is so amazing. Even though I read how you created this, but I have absolutely no idea what you did to create such a magnificent card. It's perfect for your Dad, especially if he's got some kind of relationship with them....This is one fabulous card with dramatic stamping and coloring!
