Lili of the valley - Sailing boat (Retirement card)

Hello, hope you are all well,  its cold today

its  been raining but sun just trying to show through, so hopefully it will warm up.

My Dad retired from work on Monday, So wanted to share with you the card I made for him.

One of my fav Lili of the valley stamps I know you have seen it a few times now.

But my Dads into boats, and he said he liked this stamp when I made the postcard for the paperlane

that was published in Craft stamper magazine 

I don't think it shows to well on this picture, But I stamped the sails of the image again, cut out and curled a little, mounted on foam pads and glued edges down. To make the sails 3d and appear they were full with breeze.

So this is the inside of the card

Sorry image not to good but hope you get the idea. I made a banner with cream card cut the little triangles out inked edged, then used a page or 2 from an old yellowing dictionary, cut out more small triangles, stamped on letters to spell Happy Retirement. added a blue stickles around outline of flag.

Then strung together using crochet cotton, added foam pads to back side and hay presto 1 banner.
