Retirement Card

Personalised retirement card

This card I made for a member of staff who was retiring from my son’s school.

It is made up of a white A5 card which has been covered on the front  with a layer of burgundy coloured card. 4 rectangles made from cream coloured card have been symmetrically arranged on top leaving a margin of approx 1cm around the border of the card.

I stamped gold coloured roses on to the cream rectangles and I then cut out 2 circles using the Spellbinders Nestabilities Decorative Elements Dies, (Lacey Circles) in my Big Shot Machine. As you can see I printed out my message onto the cream card before I cut the circle.

The card was finished off with 3 coordinating paper roses, small flower die cuts and flat backed gems.

The basic design of this card can be adapted for many different uses by changing the colours and embellishments etc so expect to see more as time gos by !.

I hope you like it
