So a little back story...our manager is retiring at the end of May. She has been a wonderful boss and we are going to miss her dearly. I wanted to make a retirement card for her to reflect a new journey in her lfe. After all, life is good. It's all about perspective right?

What I love most about this is the fact that everything started out as white cardstock (except fot the teal background paper) it's all ink and paint and a fabulous stamp from Stampscapes. I love using Stampscapes and blending ink colors. Make sure you use glossy paper for vibrant results and blendability.
Gorgeous card, the scene is fantastic. You would never believe it started out as a piece of white card. Gorgeous design. Thanks so much for joining in the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Tracy x
