Hi there my crafty friends! I have a cute retirement card to share today. I embossed a piece of white card with the
Stripes embossing folder for a textured background. I cut the
Hawaiian Shirt die out of some decorative paper from my craft stash. I cut the die again out of raspberry card and cut away the collar and button strip and glued it onto the decorative paper. I added a pink pocket with a light pink hibiscus in it to match. I cut the backing piece out of both white and black card. I glued the shirt to the white piece then added the black as an offset shadow. I added the shirt with mounting foam at an angle in the middle of the card. I cut the
Happy Retirement sentiment in black and glued it to the lower corner of the card. Using the extra dies from the set, I added a pina colada glass with an umbrella (is it just me that sees this in my future retirement someday? LOL) and some tropical leaves and flowers as fun accents. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Fantastic card Sue xx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue.

Hi Sue.
ReplyDeleteI could imagine this as part of my retirement IF I could spend it somewhere nice and warm, a nice constant comfortable warmth, but it really doesn't feel the same here up north lol I can't even get out to plant my polyanthus it's too cold and painful for me, I'm hoping for a nice warm spring and warmer summer.
It's lovely to start the day with lots of colour and hope.
Hope everyone is doing OK physically and mentally and feeling well. Love to all xxx

Hi Sue, sorry I didn't comment yesterday but spent most of the afternoon sorting out a new phone which I could have thrown through the stores window in the end. And it's still not sorted and all of my contacts have disappeared now.
ReplyDeleteBut, your lovely card has cheered me up no end.

Hi Sue and everyone, ohh I love todays card so much. This shirt set is definitely one of my favourites ive seen lately and I will have to get it in the future. Its so versatile and I love how you've made it a hawaiian shirt, that patterned paper is just fabulous. I even love the little extra dies too. The cocktail glass reminds me of better times and holidays abroad.
ReplyDeleteLike Steph I honestly don't know why I live in a cold country, I too spend the colder seasons dreaming of warmer weather.
Anyway enough waffle, see you all tomorrow.
Hugs

A wonderful retirement card Sue. Such fun x
ReplyDeleteCool shirt! I love the flower in the shirt pocket. Great retirement card. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteLove this set. The double background/shadow detail really makes it stand out. The patterned paper you used for the shirt is perfect. What a great card for retirement, vacation, or just a nice fellow birthday card.
ReplyDeleteHope all are enjoying Sunday afternoon. It snuck up on me with the time change.

ReplyDeleteI lost my job few months back and there was no way to get income for my family, things was so tough and I couldn't get anything for my children, not until a met a recommendation on a page writing how Mr Bernie Wilfred helped a lady in getting a huge amount of profit every 6 working days on trading with his management on the cryptocurrency Market, to be honest I never believe it but I took the risk to take a loan of $1000. and I contacted him unbelievable and I was so happy I earn $12,500 in 6 working days, the most joy is that I can now take care of my family I don't know how to appreciate your good work Mr. Bernie Doran God will continue to bless you for being a life saver I have no way to appreciate you than to tell people about your good services. For a perfect investment and good strategies contact Mr Bernie Doran via WhatsApp :+1(424)285-0682 or Telegram : @Bernie_doran_fx or Email : Bernie.doranfx01@gmail.com

I worked with SPYHOST CYBER SECURITY COMPANY, and they were so helpful and supportive, and in the end, it took a 24hrs , I got almost all of the money back. It wouldn't have been possible for me to meet up economically because I almost invested all my money but all thanks to Spyhost cyber service with their genius effort to help me recover my already stolen currency.Incase you are a victim of such predicament Please ensure also to reach out to them for help via email: (Spyhost@cyberdude.com).
