Retirement Card
Good Morning Folks. Hope you are all enjoying some creative time, Time is the word we all know so well as most of us are always looking for more. However, today's card was a commission for a retirement card, so I chose an 8X8 card and made a wallet to hold it. I used the background papers from the correspondence pad by Craftwork Cards, I just love all their pads and kits. The dies I used were Spellbinders Elegant Labels 4. Everything was edged with vintage photo DI. The sentiment is a great favourite of mine and it's from Inkylicious. I'm not sure where i got the beautiful lady image as it was on a sheet. Need to find out who it was I bought it from. The rest of the embellishments were from my stash. Thank You all so much for the lovely comments left on my blog as it really inspires me to keep going. Have a good Day. Hugs Rita xxx

Good afternoon Rita, loving your stunning card, very, very effective.
The sentiment stamp is brilliant, the image is beautiful and is a "Kanban" image I still have a few left. I use them sparingly, I really like them they are so pretty.

This is so gorgeous! I have some Kaban image toppers that are sort of similar...so I think it is Kaban.

A truly lovely card Rita. Ah 'time' where does it go? I cannot believe it will soon be June. Anne x
Hi Rita, such an elegant vintage retirement card. Love all the delicious details and the beautiful photo which evokes a by-gone era (a gentler time!). The sepia tones were so perfect with the soft shade of the pink lady set atop the delicate S/B mats. Of course your roses were gorgeous as always. Your recipient is sure to be as delighted to have this, as I was to see it! TFS & Hugs.
Such a pretty vintage card Rita. Jenny x
