Congratulations on your Retirement

 Hello, and welcome!

Today's card was for my boss who will retiring.  While his retirement is not official until the end of June, he will burning up his vacation bank, out of office (how fun is that?)!
Here is his card ~


Mr Happy to the rescue!  A bit of stamping, foiling, coloring and die cutting using two tones of gray, and this cutie was delivered!
A close-up of Mr Happy ~


A close-up of the bold blue foiling ~


While it doesn't look like it with all the weird camera angles, the blue on Mr Happy's hat and the foiling all match really well.  This will be going over to Snippets Playground #451, all for the snippets of paper used except the actual card base, and NBUS #49, for the NBUS stamp and stripey foiling plate, and I totally missed the MFT Sketch this was taken inspiration from.

 


Supplies:
   St Bella - Gnomes Have Feelings Too (NBUS)
   SB - Modern Lines foiling plate (NBUS)


Thank you for the visit, and I pray that everyone is staying safe from recent weather and healthy!

Hugs,
TK

What a fab gnome card you’ve made here. The foiling makes it very classy.

Thanks for entering a piece of homework to the Snippets Playground. The game of Tag is nearly over as I’m exhausted from all that running around! Time for some chocolate eggs! Xxx

TK, I'm sure your card was much appreciated - wondering if your colleague will stop shaving as did your cute little gnome? Ha!
LOve that foiling pattern!

Love that blue foiling, TK! And this gnome is bound to bring a smile as if he won't be smiling anyway. I highly recommend retirement!

Love that stripey foiled background, TK. It's a great place for the darling gnome to rest. I'm sure your boss will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
