Goodbye to a co-worker

Good day everyone:

We said goodbye to a co-worker yesterday and was asked to create a card for him to say good luck.  If you know me, you know I have trouble making masculine cards, but the more I do them, the more comfortable I get.  This one turned out great because it is calming and I think signifies strength, which is something Paul has - strength and determination.

When I was putting the images together, I wasn't happy with the background as I thought it was too bare, so decided to take the smaller tree in this stamp set and make my own background - I enjoy doing that.  I even decorated the inside of the card, even though the strip along the bottom is not straight 😢, but oh well, that's okay

This is a short post because since it's so hot outside here in SC, I'm going to stay indoors and create all day long😀

See you soon

Janet
