This card is for a friend of my Mum who's retiring from her teaching job. I couldn't find a Happy Retirement sentiment in my stash, so I reckoned this oldie LOTV postmark would do just the job.
Image from Lili of the Valley - coloured with watercolour pencils and clear gloss added to her beak / feet / spots on the card, and the little butterfly. Stencilled BG.

I think it's great that you found a sentiment other than "happy retirement." Love the image and background stenciling. Your doodled borders always add a nice finishing touch, too.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, how cute is that!!! And that sentiment is perfect! Thanks for the inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect retirement card Lynne. Love the sweet stamp and the lovely stencilled background xx
