High Hopes Challenge #8

This card is made for my ABC DT buddy Cathy for her daughter as she is going into hospital soon (see post below).

The theme this week on High Hopes Challenge was "Buttons and Brads" and I thought this image of "Delia Angel" from High Hopes suited the occasion perfectly as the angel is hugging her cat and I wanted to send hugs to Ellie.

The papers are a freebie from Raspberry Road Designs with image coloured using promarkers from Secret Crafter. Buttons, brads and gems from my stash. The greeting is printed on my PC using Safmat from Secret Crafter.
