Tonight I had a request to make a retirement card for a technology teacher who loves yellow.
I love being able to make cards for a specific recipient … but I confess, this one almost stumped me. I realized after an hour of rummaging through every drawer and basket in my studio that I really have no retirement, teacher or technology themed stamps or embellishments… so I had to think outside the box.
I started by pulling out any yellow papers … or any I thought worked with the theme like the scan-tron & graph paper from Cosmo Cricket's the Boyfriend collection. Next I went searching through my vintage dictionaries for words that would work, and settled on just going with retired (which I accented with a yellow highlighter).
I added a sentiment from Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler embellished with a flower & vintage button to finish the design using this week's Mojo Monday Sketch.
Sometimes being “stumped” at first, leads to making a terrific card … like this one! I think that you captured several great shades of yellow, highlighted the momentous occasion and used the perfect sketch. Whoot-whoot! 🙂
