Humor is Hazardous to Illness

I needed a card today for a loved one who is ill, and so I dug out my new doctor duck digi again from the "Happy Healing" set (available HERE at Clear Dollar Stamps) to make something light-hearted. I don't know if you can read the greeting, but it says, "Warning: The Surgeon General has determined that humor can be hazardous to your illness." Whether illness or just hard knocks, I do firmly believe that a little laughter can make any situation a bit more bearable. Laughing when in the midst of our trials is not always easy to do, I know -- believe me, I know. Some might even consider it irreverant. But I firmly believe that God gifted humans with humor as a wonderful coping mechanism, and so I try to share it as often as possible. Of course, my sense of humor might not be the same as anybody else's, but hey -- I try! LOL! :-)

To make this card, I combined the colors from this week's Color Combo challenge (CC356) -- Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade, and Basic Gray -- with the layout from this week's Sketch Challenge (SC336) over at Splitcoast Stampers. My colors aren't quite right, as I don't have the more recent Stampin' Up! colors, but hopefully they're close enough. Since the layout was a bit fancier than what I'd normally do, I kept the accessories to a minimum, using just some green grosgrain ribbon.
