My friend retires from her TA job in the local primary school tomorrow after many years of service, so I made her this card.
For the central area of the card, I used two stencils from the Clarity Crafts "Seedheads & Tiles" stencil set. For the square background I used "Vivid Chartreuse" Ranger Archival Ink . I then lay the decorative leaf stencil from the same set over the top and applied "Fern Green" Ranger Archival Ink through the stencil.
I dusted the surface of the card with an anti static bag of chalk, then stamped the words "On your retirement", part of the Clarity "Entwined Sentiment" stamp set, using Wow! Clear Embossing pad, coated the words with Wow! Rich Gold Embossing Powder and heat set.
I mounted the card on to a piece of dark green card then on to a white card blank. I used a Signo Uniball gold coloured pen to add littel dots around the central tile and around the extremities of the inner leaf.
