Today is the last day of work for one of my blogging pals/friends and tomorrow she is moving to another state, so I made this card for her. I used a pastel pink card base and embossed the white panel with a retired SU! tulips ef. The large flourish is by Cheery Lynn and the little pink and white flowers done with SU! mini punches were dotted with black Nuvo drops in the center. The sentiment was done in black with a Lil Inker die and I wove the flourish into a couple letters to entwine the two elements together. I thought the tulips and mini flowers were a good theme for this card since spring just began a couple days ago.
Best wishes in your new chapter of life Mary Anne. I hope you'll enjoy being your own boss after working all those years :)
Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day!
