I am so enjoying being retired so I am always happy with friends who finally retire. And of course, retirement offers more opportunities to travel to fun places. Here is a fun card to celebrate the event.
I used a Tim Holtz E/F for the background. I used a white gel pen to make the black stripes look like a highway. The car is an old unlabled stamp colored with SU blends and fussy cut. The sentiment is done on the computer.
I used this sketch from Make The Cards Challenge

So clever, love how you made the road, and what a cool embossed background! Thanks for sharing with us at Make the Cards.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for making the road look so authentic. A fun embossed background. I love being retired too. It's great.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't ever thought of putting a little car on a retirement card, but it's the perfect image. I think travel is on the to-do lists of most retired people. Great card!
