Happy Retirement
Hello bloggers! I started with a piece of watercolour card. I used a paint brush and some green ink and watercoloured it across the bottom of the card. I used Spun Sugar and Tumbled Glass lightly in the sky area. Next I cut the Primrose Cottage in shades of purple and added it to the top of the hill. I cut two of the Bluebell Cottages, one in grey and maroon and the other in peach and tan card. I added the other two cottages lower down on the hill. I used several shades of green card and cut a bunch of trees and scattered them around the cottages. I added a lamppost too. I cut the Happy Retirement sentiment in black and glued it to the top corner of the card. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8 1/2" in size.

Hi Sue
A lovely card.

Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh this is a beautiful card, I have got the Cottage Dies on order. The detail on the cottage and thatched roof is amazing, especially if you gently rub an ink pad over it to bring out all the thatched detail, wonderful, so looking forward to having a play with mine when they arrive.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hug, June Smith xxx
Morning Sue.
Another beautiful card thank you.
Take care all Kitty.
A beautiful card to celebrate someone’s retirement.

Good morning Sue,
A beautiful card that definitely sets a scene for a fabulous retirement place to live. Your beautiful cottages really set themselves for many beautiful scenes. Yvonne xx

Hi Sue. What a lovely place to retire to. I love how you have made all the cottages look so different by using all the different colours.

Hi Sue
A beautiful scene with your lovely cottages and so appropriate for a retirement card. Apologies for not commenting on yesterday’s gorgeous card with the floral harmony cover plate, it was just a really busy day and I forgot to look at the blog
Love and hugs to everyone
