Enjoy Your Retirement

Good Sunday morning all!  I cut the Herringbone Background die twice out of white card.  I matted the two dies together by turning one the opposite way of the other one.  I cut a Looped Ovals die out of Iris card and used it as the backing mat.  I cut a Double Stitched Oval die in white and matted it with the Looped Oval die.  I cut the Bookshop in grey and added the windows, door and sign cut out of Iris card.  I cut the Delivery van out of Iris card and added it next to the bookshop.  I added three trees cut out of different shades of green card.  I also added a streetlamp next to the building and a couple of clouds in the sky.  I cut the Enjoy Your Retirement sentiment from the Wordie sheets and added it with mounting foam below the scene.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/4"  in size. 


 All for now, Sue x

Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a fantastic retirement card, it is something we don't see very often and this one is amazing, thank you so much for designing the dies that are used to create this.

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Hi Sue, I love everything about this card. The bookshop is most appropriate - so much more time to enjoy our reading.
