TGIF for those of you who are still working. I can't believe I've been retired for 19 years! My upline just retired and this is the card I made for her a few weeks ago so some of the colors might not be accurate in my description (sorry).
I sponged the top part of a Whisper White mat with Seaside Spray and the bottom with Pear Pizzazz. I stamped the trees from Lovely as a Tree (retired) in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Then I ran the panel through my Big Shot with the Woodland Embossing Folder. I adhered it to another mat of Whisper White and mounted the panels on a Tranquil Tide (retired, but it was her favorite color) card base. Pretty Peacock is now a close match.
The sentiment is from the Well Said Stamp Set, stamped in Pretty Peacock on a scrap of Whisper White. I used the Classic Label Punch to cut it out. I ran my Pear Pizzazz Stampin' Write Marker around the edges and adhered it with Dimensionals.
Mary has horses so I stamped horses from the Let It Ride Stamp Set using Gray Granite stamped off twice. The sentiments are from the Tasteful Textures Stamp Set and are stamped in Pear Pizzazz and Pretty Peacock.
The trees are from Let it Ride and are stamped in Pear Pizzazz.
Being a former trumpet player back in the day (which I have learned is offensive to some), I love the song I Talk to the Trees by Chet Baker...trust me, you don't want to listen to Clint Eastwood sing it...lol. Over at Little Red Wagon Challenge #510 - I'd Like to Teach the World To Sing is where I'm entering my card. I hope you'll pay them a visit as they have great challenges. I'm also playing for the second time this month at Creative Fingers Anything Goes #169.
I know Mary is enjoying retirement and I hope you enjoyed my card. Thank you for stopping by today.
