These two illustrations were chosen for their sense of fun and movement — classic Penny Black storytelling full of personality. The mouse racing along with a mountain of presents captures that excited “on my way!” energy, while the cat driving a van full of mice feels like a tiny road trip in miniature. Hand‑painting them brings out the warmth and humour in each scene, while the unpainted option invites others to enjoy the creative process themselves.
The aim was to create a sheet that feels bright, cheerful, and full of celebration — perfect for handmade cards, memory books, children’s keepsakes, or any project that needs a joyful focal point.

Full description
This listing is for an A5 sheet featuring two separate Penny Black stamp illustrations, each hand watercoloured on thick, high quality watercolour paper.
The sheet includes:
1. A mouse speeding along in a tiny car, the roof piled high with wrapped presents
2. A cat driving a cheerful VW style van, complete with mouse passengers and even more gifts strapped to the top
Each illustration is painted individually, giving every character its own expression, colour variation, and sense of movement. The paper is sturdy enough for crafting and can be cut, trimmed, mounted, layered, or framed. These designs make wonderful card toppers for birthdays, celebrations, new home cards, thank you notes, or any occasion that calls for a joyful, whimsical touch.
There is also an option to purchase an unpainted version of the sheet. The stamped outlines are ready for you to colour yourself using watercolour, pencils, markers, or mixed media. This makes the sheet ideal for crafters who enjoy adding their own creative style, as well as beginners who want to practise colouring Penny Black designs.
These illustrations appeal to card makers, paper crafters, Penny Black fans, lovers of cute animal art, and anyone who enjoys lively, humorous designs with a sense of adventure.
If buying mutiple items, unused postage costs will be returned to the buyer.
