Elephants Never Forget

Today's cards are starring Humphrey.  Thanks to Liz for the stamp loan.

These cards are square 5x5 if memory serves me right.  The image is stamped and watercoloured....the roses watercoloured with distress inks.  This has then been double matted on card and patterned card.  The blossoms and leaves have been punched out from my scraps, and the flowers given a little character with my floral punch craft tool.  A little card candy and a ribbon and I was done.

One of the cards I gave to my youngest son's teacher as a thank you card at the end of last term.  The elephant was rather appropriate as he played an elephant in the summer school play.  I was really pleased with the reception I got on giving the card to her, she was amazed that I had made it and then that I had sat and painted the image in the first place :D :D.  Apparantly this is one card she will definately be keeping in her memory box.  I also made her a Survival Tin......which I have saved for another blog post.
