Retirement Good Luck.

 One of my hubby's colleagues is retiring next month so I was asked to make a card that everyone could sign.

I chose to make an 8x8in card which gave plenty of room for all the signatures. My Carnation Craft dies were perfect for the occasion

I chose to use Eminence from Equinox Bloom collection - I love sunflowers and the size of the vase was perfect for the 8x8in card

I printed and die cut the woven wicker to frame the flowers. My card base was matted with coordinating cardstock and paper.

I shaped the wicker to give it a more realistic look and adhered it with glue gel. I shaped the vase and floral display and again added it with glue gel.

 

The flowers were decoupaged to give further dimension. I die cut and stamped the sentiment. After I had added this I felt there was a lot of empty space on the card so I added coordinating matt enamel dots. I then remembered I had these little fluffy bumble bees from the Fine Splendor Carnation Craft collection - They worked perfectly to tie the card design together.

Thank you for stopping by, I would love for your to leave me a comment.
