Morning all,
Well it's grey and foggy here again this morning, but, it started out like this yesterday too and reached 20' by the afternoon ! Lets hope the same happens today!
Anyway onto today's card. I had a phone call from DH Wed lunchtime saying "can you make a retirement card today ? Oh and it needs to be done by tomorrow" -no pressure then eh ? lol ! This is what I came up with....
I used a sketch by Karen at The Sweetest Thing for speed! The stamp set is a papermania one and I used Haiku designer paper for the background, spiral punch for the top edge and very vanilla 1/4" grosgrain ribbon all SU! and available to buy through me, (Contact me details in side bar x). I paper pieced the golfer with BG Archaic papers as I thought the check was very Golfy! The recipient does a lot of 'work' on the course apparently!! Sentiment says "let the relaxation begin (happy retirement!)" and is from the SAB free Congrats set, buttons from stash.

Sorry about the dodgy pics, but as I didn't finish doing it 'till late and DH had to take it to work the next day I had to take these at night :(
