Henry and his bauble

My Henry Mouses arrived and I couldn't wait to get the mounted up and inked up!! Whih to choose first though?! I adore this little cutie, he looks so pleased with himeself!!
I watercoloured him and cut him out using my nesties, then inked up the edges. I distressed the papers and used a gold pen to faux stitch them. I punched a couple of snowflakes and added some green ribbon. The bauble is glossed and then gold stickles added, and I added fluffy stuff to Henry's hat.

I have used this week's Papertake Weekly sketch, the recipe over at WOJ challenge, Stitching from Simon Says Stamp and as I have used my favourite Christmas papers I am also entrying it for this week's Stamp Something.


Recipe:
Stamp(s): WOJ Henry and bauble
Colouring Media: Distress inks
Papers: Daisy D
Embellishments: punched snowflakes, brads, ribbon from stash
