Happy Retirement
My last order from W&W included the wonderful Cover Model: Do You See What I See? Cutaway. Gotta say, it cut beautifully without using a shim! Decided to keep it simple for my first card & just cut it from white cardstock. For the background I watercolored a panel with DI evergreen bough, peacock feathers, salty ocean, broken china & tumbled glass. I misted with water for a bit of added texture, but hard to see in the photo.
My color combo is based on the W&W April Color Combo Challenge--so beautiful & peaceful. One of my previous bosses who is also a friend just retired May 1, so this card is for her. The sentiment is done with W&W In a Word: Hello Cutaway and Heidi Swapp alpha stickers. All the white cardstock is brushed with Wink of Stella & the sticker word is attached with foam tape.
I think this is the first time I've added a sentiment strip on top of a die cut word--so fun! I'm also entering HLS Anything Goes with Dies, SSS Monday & WAW. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
