Stampin' Up! High Tide Retirement Card

I am sharing a card I made for my husbands work collage who recently retired at 72! I thought it was only fitting to share while I was away at On Stage in Orlando and have yet to return home to Melbourne. Speaking of On Stage, if you'd like to see some updates, drop by my Facebook business page for snippets of my day. 


I didn't have the right stamps (or enough time to individually stamp letters) so I cheated and printed a sentiment on my computer for the happy retirement sentiment onto the balmy blue cardstock. I used the water image from high tide stamp set in pacific point which helps make the water look realistic doesn't it? 

Inside the card, the verse reads: 

We're so sorry that you're leaving us,
but you've earned the right to take,
the time to put your feet up,
and enjoy a well-earned break!

Wishing you all the very best from all your friends & colleagues.
