My sister retired after 20 years in her job last month, and I finally got around to making her retirement card. I used a stamp set by The Artistic Stamper, along with a sentiment by Heidi Grace. The background was made with Distress Oxide inks. I made a stack of about 10 different backgrounds last night, in various colors, to have ready when I need them. The shells are also from the same stamp set and I fussy cut and popped up on foam tape.

As you Like It, favorite color to combine with pink and why. I love pink with turquoise because they contrast so well

That is a beautiful background for that (still) great stamp! Thank you for joining us at TIME OUT!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fab retirement card. The person on the card looks like they are breaking free of something (work, perhaps) Thanks so much for playing along at Time Out.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your sister - what a wonderful card you've made for her. The background is lovely :) Thanks for joining in on the fun Karen!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards for both your sister and brother in law. The dentist went ok and the root came out in one piece which was good news. Now it's the waiting game for two months to see if the bone regrows enough to take the screw. Fixing. Hugs Mrs A.
