I have a commission for 4 retirement cards. Here is the first. I cased a card I found on Pintrest by Tamie
Relaxing in a chair by the beach is certainly a favorite retirement activity.
The card base and the mat circle are SU's Crumb Cake. I used SU's wavy e/f on Pool Party for the waves. I die cut a circle and sponged on crumb cake, pool party, and balmy blue. The palm trees are from the retired (appropriate?) set Waterfront. I added a white burlap strip behind the circle. And an unlabled die cut beach chair in front. The sentiment is an old stamp in my stash.
Sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. I ritated ti landscape and moved the circle over a bit to accommodate the chair.
