Enjoy Your Retirement
Hello blogger! I started today's card by sponging Distress Oxide inks across the card using a smoothie. I used a combination of Tumbled Glass, Picked Raspberry, Fossilized Amber and Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide inks. Using the Birch Tree Forest die, I cut it out of slate grey card and extended it and cut it again making it a larger piece. I used the Stitched Hills & Clouds and cut it in white to create a snowy hill. I glued it across the bottom of the card. I cut the Primrose Cottage out of Periwinkle Blue card and the door and roof were cut out of slate grey and added to the cottage. I added the cottage to the scene with mounting foam. I cut two small deer from the Winter Wonderland die set and glued them next to the cottage. I cut the Happy Retirement sentiment out of wordie sheets and added it with mounting foam. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6" x 6 3/4" in size.
All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue, a pretty card using the delightful Cottage dies. Great background. Bx
Hi Sue. What a lovely card, I really love how you have created the sky. That would be my dream, to live in a country cottage in the middle of nowhere although it is not very practical when you get old Lol

Hi Sue
Love the background scene you’ve created. The cottage looks so good in periwinkle and slate grey. The two little deer just finish it off perfectly.
