Happy Retirement

Need a break from Christmas? My mom retired last month, and I finally got around to making her a card. This card uses my new goodies from PTI: Mega Mixed Messages and Turning a New Leaf.



I rock-and-rolled the leaves with pastel lime and pastel olive chalk inks, then added the ivory primas. The picture makes the big prima look slightly darker than it really is. I put chocolate half-pearls on the primas. The result is a sweet and simple card!

    Primas? Never thought I would see them here!!!! I always think of Primas, stickers, sequins and die-cuts in the same category. And here you are, inspiring us to try using things in that category. I'm working on just getting through the sequins, today! :-)

    Thanks,
    Bahb
