Retirement card

This is a retirement card I have made for a colleague. She is retiring early and is not too sure about the whole thing, but got an offer she couldn't refuse. I wanted to emphasise the celebration and minimise the retirement aspect as I know she has concerns over finishing work. The big chipboard flower thingy is a fridge magnet that can be taken off the card and kept. Many thanks to Joanne (Angelnorth) for sending me some magnetic bits and to Kathy Black for the inspiration for a flowery layered card.
Paper and Vellum is SEI from the Bubbly Funk January Kit. Chipboard flowers from BF, Chipboard letters are Maya Road, tag from BF, Brad (live) Dovecraft, eyelets are Making Memories. Doodling with Sakura pens.

    What I said before was that you look very fetching in your overalls.

  11. Janice, you've done a fab job here. I love that it's bright and funky and totally different from the usual "put your feet up" sort of retirement card. This one is just bursting with energy

  12. Janice, this is just gorgeous! WoW! And what a clever idea to use a fridge magnet like that! -- she's certain to think of you often after retiring...
