Congrats on Retirement

Hi everyone! Today, I have two retirement cards I made recently - one for my mom and another one for a good friend - using the new dainty flowers dies from Paper Smooches. I inked the die cuts with distress inks and dye inks from the Simon Says Stamp In Color of Fun collection.

  

The bottom half of the curly clouds are also inked with distress ink and the flowers and hillside panel are popped up with foam tape. The retirement sentiment is from the shade tree sentiments stamp set by Taylored Expressions.

It was a little tedious inking up all those pieces and popping them up with foam tape, but I do like they came out.  Here are a few close ups:
