Happy Retirement Card

For this card I wanted to make it a “Use It Up” card. Which means going into my stash and using up some of the things that have been retired or I have had for ages. You know what I mean, we all have it…stuff we have bought years ago and have not used. I challenge you to “use it up” this week as well.


For the leaves I inked them up in Honey Ink and then dabbed random spots with autumn terracotta and Olive ink. I then stamped them onto Colonial white textured cardstock and cut them out.

All supplies are from Close to My Heart unless otherwise noted:
Black cardstock
Bamboo and Colonial White textured cardstock
Autumn terracotta B&T papers
Autumn Terracotta brads (unknown…they were a gift)
Party Pennants C1429
Natures Vein D1232
Autumn Terracotta Ink Z1201
Olive Ink Z2137
Honey Ink Z2162
Foam Tape Z268

Thanks for stopping by...
