I have two cards for your inspiration today.
Card One: Just Retired
Congrats C21375 (inside)
How I made it:
- On a gray A2 card, I attached a panel of a US map.
- I added a gray Wacky Stitched Circle die cut with foam tape.
- Stamping the Just Retired image on bristol card stock, I colored it with Inktense pencils. I love the vibrancy of these pencils when you add water. They are my favorite go-to watercolor pencils. They are permanent after water is added, so they layer color very well.
- I fussy-cut the painted image, and added it to the gray circle.
- INSIDE: I stamped the Pack Your Bags image in gray, and the Congrats!

Card Two: Pack Your Bags
IO stamps links:
How I made it:
- On an ivory A2 card front, I stamped the Pack Your Bags suitcase image. I used Tombow markers to color the suitcases, and add the gray underneath.
- I added some spatters, and let it dry.
- I stamped the Adventure Awaits onto pale card stock, and colored the letters with the Tombow markers. I cut it apart, and added them both to an orange scrap. I added the Adventure word to the front with foam tape.
- INSIDE: I attached the 'awaits' word to the inside, and colored and fussy-cut one of the suitcases from Pack Your Bags, and added that.
