Moving on card (retirement card for a young person)

moving-on-cardSmljpg

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.

 

 

Retirement card for a Physiotherapist

I used the same image for Joan’s card and  gift label.  I have kept it fairly simple as I didn’t think Joan would particularly like  a fussy, grungy or over-embellished style.
Although I have called it a retirement card I haven’t slapped the word ‘retirement’ over the front as I like it just how it is.

Ink:  Stampin up Soft suede
Card:  ivory card, brown card
Stamp:  Stampin up Sanded background
Other:  anatomical image from riandesign
