Hi Everyone, I hope you are all OK after all the awful extreme weather, worldwide, we have had in the last few weeks.
My simple CAS card today, was for our nephew in law, who has retired from his Head of Creative Arts Teacher post. Although they have asked him to go back for 2 days a week! He has been very busy in the last 2 years helping his sons who have bought houses to do them up too. I think he deserves to take his time now.
Anyhow, I typed the sentiment in Silhouette and cut the sentiment sheet and background. The image was then cut 3 times, I cut out the Retirement in 2 colours to match the pants and background paper. I had paper pieced the pants in Photoshop, so printed that out and fussy cut it as I forgot to add it to Silhouette duh! I then coloured him with DI's, added 3D glaze to his specs and layered the retirement pieces. All were added to the sentiment paper and to the card.
I have shown you the insert, before printing. The apt Teacher resignation verse is from Craft-U-Print free verses. I hope it's large enough for you to see.
image - Weekend Walter Dr Digi
inks - Distress Inks, faded jeans, chipped sapphire, abandoned coral, candied apple
3D glaze - Nuvo Crystal Glaze
dp - Dawn By Design
verse - Crafts-U-Print
insert mugs - Hugware
It's fun Faith. Going by what eldest daughter tells me they are doing that a lot as teachers retire, a cheaper option apparently.
