Christi's Creative Crew: Happy Retirement

This is another one of the cards that we made this month at Card Club. My theme for the night was to take ideas straight from the catalog so the gals will realize what a great resource that the Stampin' Up! Catalogs are. This card can be found on page 42 of the Occasions Catalog. I changed it up by NOT adding the & using the Alphanumeric Mold and Simply Pressed Clay (found on page 32) and keeping it a bit more simple

The card was sitting on my workstation when my cousin popped in to ask if I could make her a retirement card and she loved how pretty it was and that it would be perfect for the gal she was gifting. Since I do not have a Retirement stamp that would fit I used my computer and WORD to print out the words then I added a couple flowers using the same stamp and some markers to ink up only the area I wanted.

She also needed a retirement card for her pastor who was retiring (husband and wife are getting these cards) she mentioned that he loved tools so I used one from a Punch Art class. Changed up the words from a Thank You to a Retirement. I used some brads that looked like screws that I found at the local hobby store. I sure hope they like them.
