Beach Chair

I was asked to make a few retirement cards recently and I thought I would use the beach chair from the retired Colorful Seasons stamp set.  The branches and flowers to the side of the card are from the same stamp set...

My sentiment is from Well Said and I added a piece of Pressed Petals designer series paper to the side of the mat as well.

Supplies:

Well Said, Colorful Seasons

Bermuda Bay, Rococo Rose, Soft Suede, Pacific Point ink

Rococo Rose, Whisper White card stock

Happiness blooms enamel dots

wood accents

July Stamp Club

This time around I chose to use several different designer and specialty papers for our projects - Noble Peacock specialty paper, Pressed Petals designer series paper and Mosaic Mood specialty paper.  

The first card uses the Noble Peacock specialty paper and the Tasteful Textures stamp set.

The second card has some Pressed Petals designer series paper and the background is embossed with the Brick and Mortal folder.  

Finally, the layout uses the Mosaic Mood specialty paper along with the Tasteful Textures stamp set and Tailored Tag punch.

I put together a few sympathy cards using the retired Graceful Glass designer vellum recently and paired it with the Painted Glass stamp set and retired Note Tag punch.
