A SEMI retirement card!!


Well, hopefully you're all nearly ready for Christmas now, as it's almost upon us.

Today I have a non-Christmas card to show you.  A friend asked if I could make a card for a lady who is going into semi-retirement, after years as a high flying business woman, and this is what I came up with.  The stamp was a FREEBIE from the wonderful Mo Manning, which I've been itching to use for ages, but just haven't gotten around to it, so this seemed the perfect opportunity.  The papers are I think from Basic Grey. The ticket was computer generated, and then cut out with my new ticket die from Whimsy - it's BRILLIANT!  The flowers and candy dots are home made, oh, and I nearly forgot the little bit of border just poking through under the ticket, which was cut with an MS punch.

If you can spare a minute at the busiest time of year to leave a comment I would love to hear what you think of my creation.

Hugs
