Celebrate the Occasion CH# 15- Retirement

Labels: ,
It's time once again for the  DT #1 at Celebrate the Occasion  to do the challenge. This week, the challenge is all about Retirement, a day we all look forward to... at least I do. lol
I wanted to try something new so I'm using a digi stamp and also an easel card.
 The base is cut at 5.5 x 11 in., scored at 5.5 and 8.25.  The digi stamp is from Sliekje Digi Stamps and colored with SU watercolor pencils. It's my first attempt, so please  be kind :).
The paper used is from SU and DCWV, sentiment is
computer generated, the buttons are SU, the borders are EK punches and I also used the Cindy Loo cart.
 

Thanks for looking!
For more inspiration head over to CTO to see what the other designers created and then post your own creation.

    Excellent Card. You did a wonderful job on the coloring....love it! Great theme for retirement, too. Don't you just love Sliekje's stamps? I found her site a while back and was so amazed at her wonderful talent at creating all the images. I was thinking about popping her a message just to tell her I enjoy them so much!
    Happy to be a new follower.
