Fusion - Happy Retirement

Hello!

For Fusion Card Challenge this week I only used the sketch. I needed a masculine card and I just loved this sketch so that's the way I went.

My husband and I have been using the same taxi driver for about ten years. This driver is a gentleman and a very good driver as well. Each of us have had many long conversations with him over the years and we've gotten to know him well. His service has been exemplary and I always felt safe in his car. I always knew he would be there to pick me up, or he'd arrange for someone else to collect me, but he NEVER ran late and he ALWAYS showed up. Our wonderful taxi driver has finally decided to retire. This is his last week in the cab. He drove my hubby to the airport on Monday, but won't be on the job to bring him home this week-end. I'm so sad. I'll miss our conversations. Hubby and I gave him a bottle of Highland Park whiskey (from the Orkney's where my hubby's family are from) and I made him this card. From what I hear, he appreciated it.

I used PTI Meadow Greens stamps. The "Retirement" is Stampin' Up!

Isn't that Easter centrepiece in the inspiration photo gorgeous?

Thanks for coming by to visit.

CAS(E) This Sketch 156

Hello!

Tonight my 8-year-old has her friend here for a sleepover. I'm not convinced I'll get a decent sleep. They're having fun. I'm hoping they'll wear themselves out, haha!

I'm here with my card for this week's CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge.

I used Stampin' Up! Wild About Flowers stamps. Colours are Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, and Delicata Gold. Those flowers are glittering gold. :-)

Michele created this lovely sketch. :-)

I hope you're inspired to join us this week!

Thanks for visiting!

Fusion Card Challenge - Falling Leaves

Hello!

My card for Fusion Card Challenge this week uses a little bit of rock-n-roll technique on my flowers. It's been a while since I've used this technique, and it was great to revisit it! I actually made a fusion card this time around, although you may need to squint to see how I followed the sketch, haha! I love the colours of the inspiration photo, so I stayed pretty close to those.

I used Stampin' Up! Wild About Flowers stamps. Inks are Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, and Soft Suede.

Thanks for coming to visit me! I hope you're inspired to join in the fun!
