It's not specifically a retirement sentiment, but it seemed to express what I want to wish her as she moves on from her career.
Don't forget to check out the Unity Friends with Flair hop for lots of great inspiration! (There's a big sale, too... be careful!) :D And now, back to the deck...
Supplies: white & assorted colour cardstock, Unity Giving It All Meaning, Direction of Your Heart, Bevy of Butterflies & Gratitude=Joy stamps, Versamark, Colorbox frost white & Memento nautical blue inks, white embossing powder
They will just treasure it. Fantastic colors!

ReplyDeleteIf it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done ;) I think this is a fabulous sentiment for a retirement card - I like to use those sorts of sentiments too, the more widely interpreted kind :)
ReplyDeleteLove the embossing on multiple strips - do you make the panel & adhere it first, or? Every time I've tried the adhesive has buckled with the heat.
This is so pretty - love the white stamping/embossing on the different colored strata - fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLindsey, this is beautiful! I love the silhouette in white on those strips of pretty paper. And that sentiment is just perfect for a retirement card, I think!!

ReplyDeleteYour strips of colour look pretty and happy and the white images really pops. I have been meaning to do something similar with strips of colour but haven't got around to it. You have inspired me to do it.
