I retired last January (Yippee!) and on Tuesday a former co-worker is retiring and her department is having a party for her - so I needed a retirement card.
My card design was inspired by this card by Becky - the Featured Stamper over on Splitcoaststampers this week.
I used a succulent rather than a cactus (or I guess a cactus IS a
succulent??!), changed the design slightly.
I didn't make mine a shaker - but did add clear sequins scattered about to give the impression of a shaker!
I colored my image using Tombow Markers and a Clear Glitter Wink of Stella to spread the color around - so IRL it is quite sparkly in the light!
I'm also linking my card to:
Paper: Bristol Smooth Surface, White and Text Stye Distressed Dots - PTI
Ink:True Black - PTI, Black Heros Hue
Accessories: Succulent dies - Altenew, Lacy circle die - Waltzingmouse (retired), Flag It - Taylored Espressions, Noted: Scalloped A2 - PTI, foam dots, Tombow Markers, Clear Glitter Wink of Stella, washi tape, clear sequins, Tombow Glue

Such a pretty Retirement card, It's so much fun to have more time with friends :)
Yes, I think a cactus is a succulent too - but I'm no expert. A lovely retirement card - hope your colleague enjoys it as much as you are!
