Retirement Cards

Hi,
Today I'd like to share with you a couple of cards for colleagues of my husbands who are leaving their working lives behind them (lucky things).

This first one uses a Verve sketch from a wee while back. It's a 6x6 white base card then some embossed Basic Grey paper stitched on to so black is added. I cut a doily out of pink glitter paper but only used half. Then I stamped a Verve saying on to some white card which I then die cut and mounted. I used more of their stamps and dies, to add dimension everything went on pop dots.

This next one is for a guy and so I thought I'd use the pocket watch stamp.

Again I made a 6x6 white card blank. I inked the stencil of cogs using "Denim" ink on to smooth white card and then using "London Smog" I added the brick stamp, then I added the pocket watch. Once dry I mounted it on to navy card and added to the card base.
I printed out my own greeting and layered up, then I cut out another watch face which I removed the 4 dials and mounted them on to the card using pop dots.

Thanks for stopping by.
Sue
