AAA #243 & Paper Players #647





I am attending a retirement party for two of the guys I used to work with and needed two retirement cards.  Looking through challenges, I also found 2 challenges that I could enter my cards in.

I used Gina K. and Thermolweb's Tropical Sunshine Stamp & Stencil set.
Since Sail boating is both an outdoor activity and also at the beach, it was the perfect scene to create.
Also, used Gina's inks to blend.

Thanks for stopping by.

Linda, you girls and these gorgeous sunset scenes are killin' me! SO beautiful - I have the Big Lake, the beach, but no palm trees around here!
Bet you the guys loved your cards!

Beautiful cards, Linda! Your ink blending is fabulous. I wish someone would send me a retirement card - it would mean I had actually retired! I keep trying but then called back into interesting projects. I guess I could say no. LOL! Thank you for sharing your cards with us at The Paper Players.
Xoxo, Fran

Linda, I love the image of sailing off into the sentiment for your retirement card. That is something many dream of doing. Thanks for joining in The Paper Players challenge. Suzy

Both of these cards are FABULOUS Lin!! (You're really making me wish I would have splurged on that kit with the circle stencil...gosh I love that!!!) Your ink blending and colors are just so perfect on both cards...they both totally look like someplace I'd love to be! And I'm sure the 2 retirees will think so too!! Great job!! Hugs. :0)
