Happy Retirement

Hello!  Today I would like to share a card I was asked to make for a retirement.  It was a little tricky as the retirement is state required and the man isn't really happy about it.  I didn't think a "congratulations" type card was in order, so I went with this:


 With ALL the paper pads I have stashed away, I just didn't find the paper I wanted, so I used Stampin' Up stamp pads Chocolate and Berry to make stripes, then I lightly brushed the Chocolate pad over the stripes to blend.

This digi stamp is from Beccy's Place.


I made both sentiments on my computer.  With a little bit of black sheer ribbon and 3 black metal brad tops, it's complete!  Sure hope he likes it!

Thanks for stopping by!  I've entered this card here:

  5. I'm very impressed with your homemade patterned paper Sarah, when I read that in your post I had to go back and have a closer look! I love the effect you got by rubbing the ink over the textured paper... it looks wonderful.
    Cheers,
    Beccy
