Goodbye Tension, Hello Pension

Hi crafters!  I started today's card by stamping the Goodbye Tension, Hello Pension stamp all over a piece of white card in black ink.  I used one of the Double Stitched Rectangles and cut the centre out of the card.  I matted it with sky blue card and cut a piece of vellum the exact size as the cut out piece and attached it with a small dab of glue in the corners.  I added the rectangles back into the middle of the card with mounting foam (which covered up the hole in the middle of the card too).  Next I stamped Ethel and Murray in their exercise outfits from the Murray and Ethel Lovin Life die set onto white card with black ink.  I coloured both of them with markers, then used the matching dies to cut them out.  I added them to the raised rectangle with mounting foam.  I stamped the sentiment one more time and cut it out with matching rectangles and matted it with sky blue card.  I added it to the upper left corner with mounting foam.  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
