dear deer friend

For Simon Says Stamp "Colour" and "Anything Goes":

I used a stencil for the background pattern and added colour with Inktense pencils and water to get a watercolour gradient. I then used my sewing machine to sew down a black border using a zig-zag stitch and black thread. The deer is from a cut apart sheet and I added letters from Basic Grey. 


I couldn't quite commit to the pun in the sentiment...
