We love Henry (and Whiff of Joy)

Today I got my new Whiff of Joy stamps (YAY!), including the ever-cute Henry, so I just had to try something love-inspired.. but simple, as I didn't have much bling at home. Coloured with watercolour pencils, the heart has a glossy accent (by Inkssentials), shapes cut by hand (no cuttlebug or dies in this household. Yet..), a little lace, some green & pink rhinestones, some flowers, two stamped & coloured butterflies and a bunch of watermark-stamped golden butterflies - so far my favourite stamps from that clear stamp sheet. And a handwritten sign (no working printer handy).
The flash made the colours a bit weird, it's a lovely old-fashioned shade of pink and an almost mossy green.
It's a very old & new card - the stamp I got today. The water colour pencils I bought 20 years ago and have hardly used the last 15 years.. the pattern paper with the butterflies is 10 years old, the pink paper bought today.

This goes into the Whiff of Joy challenge no. 95
And, since it's a mix of new and old, into the Sketch and Stash challenge

And yes, the recipient liked it :-)
