On Your Retirement

The card I have to share with you today is one I have made to celebrate a retirement:


8 x 8 card blank

Image from Joanna Sheen's Nostalgia cd-rom printed onto watercolour card.

Backing paper from same cd-rom printed onto Satin paper.

Core'dinations card is used for all the matting and layering.

Spellbinders decorative labels 8 has been used to cut the mat that the image is sat on.  

The flowers are Nellie Snellen punch and emboss punches with buttons from my stash in the centres.

The sentiment is Lili Of The Valley stamped in Faded Jeans Distress Ink.

The sentiment mat is Spellbinders Persian Motifs

The ribbons and charm are from my stash.

My card is for the following challenges:
