When someone is retiring early to go and do other things in their life it is nice to call it ‘moving on’ rather than ‘retiring’ and I think this sentiment is quite apt for this occasion.  This card is another one made form a page I had originally created with art journalling in mind.

Inks/paint:  Black document ink, Acrylic paint Lime green, Red bird, Black and Antique white.

Card:  Bamboo watercolour paper, White card, black card.

Stamps:  Tim Holtz Fairytale frenzy, Dylusions Around the edge

Other:  Napkin, Collage podge, spiral paper clip, Prima pebble, black nail heads, Pitt pens 118 and 109 to colour in the text.

Card:  Bamboo watercolour paper, white card and black card.
