Stampers Showcase Blog Hop: It's Time To Celebrate

Good morning my friends! I hope you're doing well today! Did you have a fantastic weekend? Are you recovered from the holidays?  We're finally getting back to a semi-normal schedule around here. We had a great Christmas, but are thankful for things to settle down again.

And, just in time for this month's Stampers Showcase Blog Hop!!!  YAYAYAY!!!!  Y'all know I absolutely LOVE this blog hop! The designers that participate are absolutely phenomenal! Truly some of the best out there! LUCKY for us!

This month's theme is "It's Time To Celebrate"!  It's almost a NEW YEAR so we are kicking things off right!  

My project is a retirement card for a wonderful lady I know.  I'm so sad to see her go, but am so excited for her next adventure!

I used Coastal Cabana Cardstock and the Blushing Bride Subtles Designer Series Paper.  I chose this lady because I can see my friend preparing for a fabulous vacation to celebrate her retirement.  I let the stamp do most of the work. I stamped in Bermuda Bay ink and just colored in a couple of elements on the image.  The Swirls and Curls embossing folder gives the card a wonderful whimsical texture too!

Inside the card, I stamped the image in Bermuda Bay and left it uncolored. I also stamped "Happy Retirement" for the sentiment.

I hope you like today's card idea! Make sure you follow the hop all the way around to see what the other designers have in store for you!

Until Next Time,
Happy Crafting!
