Retirement Relaxation


Hello everyone, happy Bank holiday weekend to you all.
This is a rare post for me as I found a little extra time to have a play this week with some images that I've wanted to use for ages, that's right this is just for fun!
I love Popcorn bear and Souffle, and my Mam needed a retirement card and I thought this image fits the bill. I had this fabulous paper from Forever friends, every sheet is gorgeous and I just wanted to use it, and I thought this image was perfect for them. I've pleated my ribbon in three places to make it a bit different as it's a mans card, so it's instead of a bow. I hope you all have a nice relaxing weekend and bank holiday.


I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:
1. Crafters Companion - challenge 24 - Here Comes Summer
2. Creative Inspirations Wednesday - challenge 161 - Animal Antics
3. MAWTT - Summer Sunshine
4. Mishelflo's - challenge 1 - Celebration
5. Sweet Stampin' - 4 legged friends
6. One Stop Crafts - challenge # 181 - celebrations


Recipe:-
Stamps - Popcorn bear,
Papers - Forever Friens The Good Life,
Colouring Medium - Distress Inks,
Embellishments - button, ribbon, flower pot,


Thanks for popping by.
Happy crafting
Tracy x
