Hang on Mimi!!!

When I saw this image from Stamp Fairy, 

I envisioned her hanging on for dear life in high winds... 

so I sketched out an idea with her holding the edges of her panel and pulling it in.  

This card was designed for midweek inspiration for 

Aud Sentiment's Challenge: "Autumn - BUT NOT Halloween"

You have another week before the due date - hope you will get crackin' and get your take on the theme submitted!  HERE is where you will find the Design Team's cards and information on the prize offered by our sponsor, Stamp Fairy. They also graciously provided the design team with images to use, such as the one I have here.

Inside

TECHNIQUE
I started with hoarded yellow-gold CS from stash and cut an A2 size top fold base card.  The wonderfully colorful DP also came from stash and I used that to determine the colors for the focal image.  "Mimi" was printed out three times, and once colored, cut for layering and sculpted, I assembled her on the base image panel using foam tape to increase dimension.  Using a Micron pen, I drew in the frame around the panel, making it "draw"in where her hands appeared to grab the edges.  I then cut out the frame in that shape.  The panel was mounted on foam tape to elevate her and allow some of the punched leaves to fly behind the panel.
Leaves were punched from the scraps of background DP and other coordinating papers  and vellums.

This card should be eligible for the following
