I have two cards for your inspiration today.
Card One: Palm Trees Sunset
Happy Retirement C21369 (inside)
How I made it:
- On a white A2 card, I stamped the Hammock Time with light colored ink in order to color it with no lines showing.
- I used Polychromos colored pencils to color the image.
- I created the background with distress inks and a blending brush, and added colored pencils details.
- I stamped the Celebrate verse in black.
- INSIDE: I stamped the Happy Retirement verse, and added distressing over it, and stamped the palm tree from the Hammock Time stamp.

Card Two: Adventure Awaits
Hammock Time E21374 (inside)
Happy Retirement C21369 (inside
How I made it:
- With a piece of window screening, I used it as a 'stencil' and created the background on a natural A2 card front and inside, using distress ink with a blending brush.
- For the image panel, I created a subtle sky and background with distress inks and brush applicators.
- I stamped the Take A Break image. I painted the image with Derwent Inktense pencils and water.
- I stamped the palm trees from the Hammock Time image and colored them with the Inktense, touching them up with colored pencil.
- I added the verse Adventure Awaits.
- INSIDE: I stamped the Happy Retirement verse and pine tree from the Hammock Time stamp, coloring with Inktense.
