Retirement Card

For a change I decided not to make a card with fussy cutting or a ton of embellishments.  I kept it simple and just had fun practicing my watercoloring technique (?).  The Art Impression line of stamps are easy to color with color pencils and an aqua pen.  Basically, I just followed the  colored sample on the rubber stamp package, using my grey color pencil to do some of the shading. (Sorry the photo is not the best.)

As usual I had a few smudges of color, so I covered them up with a spray of color mist (Mister Huey or Fireworks).  Because the recipient of this card (my sister) expressed a desire to do some crafting with her newly acquired free time, I decided to show her (on the inside of the card) what will happen to her if she does.  Life gets messy when you become a crafter (right?) but you just have to embrace the disorder.  Thanks for stopping by and if you have some time to spare, please leave a comment. I really enjoy reading them.
