Sunset Retirement Card

A co-worker walked into the sunset last week where her well-deserved retirement journey begins!

I did a little bit of everything on this card and created a larger-size, about 5x7,  so that everyone had ample space to write their farewell wishes.

I used glitter gel paint to make the sea foam sparkle as well as silhouette die cuts and stencil to create the waved and mountain.
