Retirement Cards.

A dear friend and colleague retired from teaching after 46 years at my school this Easter. She retired officially seven years ago but came back part time to work as the school Librarian. I was asked by the Head to make a large card for everyone at school to sign so hence the 'book' theme on this A4 card. Inside it said 'Celebrate' with another Ethel image!

The stamps are from Murray and Ethel Set One, coloured with Promarkers and Glossy Accents. I made the backing paper with an image from MS Clipart.

The second card is the one I made to give her from the family. The stamp is a Stampabilities Happy Hopper called Bunny Cruise. I used glossy accents on the duck, glass and rubber ring. Flowers again from Poppicrafts, sentiments made on the computer.

Card for an 'Oldie!'

Here is a card I made for a friend's husband's Birthday. The image is a stamp from 'Impressions' Original Stamps No K-1239 coloured with watercolours. The sentiment is from Creative Expressions Murray and Ethel Set 1. These were both mounted on panels cut with Nestabilities Labels Two. Background paper from Basic Grey, Archaic, punched with a Martha Stewart Scalloped dot punch.
