Welcome to another edition of slimline Sunday. Today I am creating a Retirement card for a lucky soul whose getting to stop living to work and instead start working at living their best life.
Today’s card design was inspired by playing along with the Global Design Project Beach Theme. #GDP539 a perfect theme for a retirement card!
The Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #673 which I stretched into a slimline design with the two tone background and used a strip of sandpaper to give texture vs the plaid in the sketch, I used a cluster of beach chairs, table with drink and a sun umbrella in place of the rectangle square. A banner sentiment and instead of 3 gems I have drawn 3 seagulls.
I’m getting inky with old favourites Colorful Seasons beach chair die, Teeny Tiny Wishes Happy Retirement sentiment, Umbrella build punch, Boat builder punch paired with the So swirly embossing folder, Triple banner punch, 2 tone Pool Party paper and Melon Mambo ink. I’ve also used a piece of sand paper for my beach strip to give an extra sensory beach feel to the card.
The So Swirly embossing folder is just perfect for creating beach vibes especially when paired with the two tone paper where you can sand the paper to reveal the white core to create your “foam”. All the elements came together to create a Happy Retirement card.
Happy Stampin’
