Retirement Card

I was asked to make a Large Retirement Card, I had a few topics I could use, but as the card was nearly A4 in size, I had to use a Digital Image so it could be resized appropriately.




So less waffle, hear is my creation...................................


Image: Is Digital Image, not sure where I got it from (sorry). Printed on White card and cut out using paper trimmer.


Coloured: Prisma Pencils, backed with silver card.


2 Red Flowers from docrafts. Flower Centres, Silver Brads.


Leaf - Woodware punch


Sentiment made on computer, cut out using a Oval Nestie.


Fiskars border punch


White spotty ribbon, Gem and Silver cord from stash




I love the Scripton Font used for the word Retirement. Downloaded font from Da-Font, this was another freebie!

Card in a rush!

I couldn't beleive I missed my Friends Husbands 40th, when I realised that his birthday was 2 days before I had to rush to make card. Really when I think about it now, I could have taken my time - as it was late anyway!!!
