Retirement card

My Aunty retired this week, but I have only just got around to making her a retirement card, so as it's now in the hands of the Royal mail, I can safely post it on my blog.
Once again a very clean and simple card - uses Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Chocolate Chip CS. The Lace Ribbon Border punch is used to make the ribbon and 1" circles are punched out of the contrasting CS. Blinged up with basic pearl and the Congratulations sentiment stamped in Chocolate Chip - a computer generated On your Retirement was printed directly onto the base card.
I am sure that Noreen will love it.

I have cased this from a birthday card that I received last year from fellow Jem - Sharon see Sharon's blog here

Another Elizabeth

At last nights Craft Class we made this card using the a la carte stamp Elizabeth - I think that I have fallen in love with this this stamp - it is so elegant.
Night of Navy and Whisper White colour combo. with Bashful Blue ribbon threaded through
the punched Lace Ribbon Border. Sentiment from Just Believe and embellished with Basic Pearls.
This is the card that Jan made.
