I have a friend retiring at the end of this school year. Here is the card I made for her:
It meets the challenges of paper craft star for using polka dots, the play date cafe for this inspirational picture:

The picture looks like blue background but is actually a purple hand made paper I bought at a yard sale last year. There is a grey mat behind the purple.The flower is cut with Cricut from SU paper. The paper is double sided so I just alternated the petals. Hard to tell here, but I used Smooch Spritz on the flower for a little shine. The ribbons are from my scrap ribbon box. I wanted the flower to take center stage here so my sentiment is on just a little tag tucked under the ribbon. Congrats is TAC stamp and punch is from SU.
I know my friend will really love retirement. I sure do!
