I needed a retirement card and I thought this would be a perfect challenge for it! I am sure the patterned paper is for Valentine's Day, but I think is was a good choice for this occasion. Retirement is for sure something to love! I liked the way my card turned out. I am also excited to use a new black ink pad I just got--Catherine Pooler Midnight Black. It is very rich and vibrant--I really like it!
I hope Tracie, along the others like my card this month! We are to post between the 7th and 10th of each month, so if you look on my sidebar, you may see other creations. I know that there will be many posted in the COF thread on SCS too! Kelly is up for our May challenge and so be sure to check back to see what she picked.
