Stampin' Up! Australia - Color Coach Card #60 - Stampin' Up! Flower Shop

Pistachio Pudding #2

#ColorCoachJourney 

Hi

I was asked to make a retirement card for one of the lovely people at work and I thought that the Color Coach combo of Pistachio Pudding, Strawberry Slush and Smoky Slate would be perfect! 

I used a retired card kit (Simply Fabulous Simply Sent) for my base and then adorned it with Pistachio Pudding Designer Series Paper and a flower stamped from the Flower Shop stamp set + an embellishment, some ribbon, leaves and a sentiment banner stamped with the "Happy Retirement" stamp from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.

Do you like it!? It is certainly much 'prettier' than the cards I usually do....and there are a lot of layers, but it feels and looks quite special so I hope the recipient will like it. :)

By the way, have you got your new Stampin' Up! 2014-2015 Annual Catalogue yet?....if not, drop me an email and I will send you a copy for FREE in the mail (Australian customers only). 

Cheers

Alison xx
