hero arts layering waves for the retiree

Yesterday's card reminded me that I had made a couple retirement cards which I had not yet shared.

First up - how about hanging out at the beach? Out comes the fabulous Hero Arts Layering Waves and Layering Sea and Sky. 

I used Altenew inks for the stamping (just flipped the last layer of sea over and used it to stamp some "sandy beach". Trimmed the sea panel down and adhered it to a cardbase. Created the setiment (hello retirement) with a stamp from the set and some die cut letters. The Adirondack chair die is Impression Obsession.

If you know Germany, you'll understand this next one...

Our road signs alerting you you've left one town and are entering another look like this. My card indicates that you've left "work" and are entering "retirement". Used the Papertrey Block Alphabet die.

I'm joining the Anything Goes fun at SSS Wednesday Challenge one more time and A Blog Named Hero AG.

Ready for Father's Day? Over at Simply Create Too we are challenging you to make a Masculine project. Sounds like perfect timing to me!

I have a retirement card for you however... completely PC-generated cuz I had this idea and it seemed the only way to make it happen.

Whaddya think?

I'm joining For the Guys over at AAA Cards #40

the Make it Masculine challenge at SSS Wednesday and a new-to-me challenge, Perfectly Rustics, where it's all about Letters or Symbols. I think my card fits the bill.
