In the UK, due to customs delays we must wait a little longer for our Paper Pumpkin kits to arrive. So today I got out the leftovers from April’s kit and added my own twist to a card by Creative Celsey which I found on Pinterest.
I created the happy retirement card using the following supplies:
Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side Piece of card 2 – 4⅛” by 3¼” Piece of card front 3 – 4¼” by 3⅛” Piece of card 2 – 4” by ½”
I placed the Water Mask onto the front of the Balmy Blue card front and used a Blending Brush to add Balmy Blue ink through the stencil.

I cut down the Misty Moonlight panel to 4⅛” by 3¼” and tore down both edges to expose the white core. The torn piece was then glued to the card front.

The wood grain card base was cut down to 4¼” by 3⅛”. I stamped the rushes with Garden Green ink across the panel and added the piece to the card front. I also stamped the trio of birds with Misty Moonlight ink in the upper left corner. The bicycle was added on Dimensionals.

The feathers from the Hugs From Shelli kit were stamped in Early Espresso ink onto scrap Very Vanilla card and cut out using my sharp scissors.

I punched out a 1⅜” Scalloped Circle and added it behind the sentiment with the liquid adhesive and attached the piece to the card front on dimensionals.
