Humphrey Thinking of You Card

Well,here I am back again with my second post of the evening.  In my last post I mentioned my friend (well she's actually my second cousin) who is fighting breast cancer and this is a card I have made to send to her.  Usually when I make a card I take the colours from the image.  This time I took the colours from some beautiful backing paper I spotted on my Joanna Sheen cd "Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady".  The colours are autumn colours which are my friend's favourite shades.  So I decided to use this Humphrey image with golden roses which match in with the golden colours in the backing paper.

Here is the card

The base card is a pre-scored 6x6 card from my stash.  I have used Whitewash Coredinations card which I have embossed using Creative Expressions mask (leaves) and then sanded back.  I have used a Spellbinders die to cut out the lovely autumn leaves backing paper and a smaller one the same shape to cut out some satin dusky pink mirror card, which matches the pink in the leaves on the backing paper.  I then embossed the pink shape using a Cuttlebug embossing folder.  Humphrey has been coloured with ProMarkers and I used another Spellbinders die to cut him out.  The dark green leaves are a ribbon and I have threaded this through each side of my cutout Humphrey and attached it at either side of the card.  Finally I added a sentiment and a paper rose.

I am pleased with the result and hope that my friend will like this card when she receives it too.

Since making this card I have decided to enter it into the following challenges
