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.

1. Crafters Companion - challenge 24 - Here Comes Summer
