Retirement by the sea

Yesterday I made ten quick cards using supplies from a free Hunkydory members gift - all about the seaside. The way the weather has turned I somehow don't think any of the cards will get used now this year, but will be ready for next!

At first I was going to make five cards using the A4 cards folded, but then I decided that it seemed a bit of a waste to use the other halves on the back of the cards, so I cut all of them and mounted on to white A5 card blanks, that way I got ten cards instead of five.

The silver foiled sentiment says: 'We'll miss you! Enjoy your retirement!'. I added two little flip flop embellishments.


This is for:

  13. A colorful and quite interesting design Hazel! I like your creative approach to cutting down the image and mounting it on the A5... love it when you can stretch your resources like that! Thank you for sharing your lovely project & creativity with us.
