Goodbye Tension...


…Hello Pension!!  Woot-woot!!  
LOL!!  Ain't she a hoot?  I made this card for a good friend of mine who's retiring at the end of the month.  Needless to say, I'm SO JEALOUS!!  I've got 3 1/2 more years… pffffft!  
Oh well, at least I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!!  Woo-hoo!  
This is Sylvia from Art Impressions.  She's a hot mess right?  Sorta looks like me when I'm at work.  Tee-hee!  Anyhoo, I stamped the image onto some Strathmore watercolor paper and colored her with my new Inktense watercolor pencils.  I matted all the panels onto some SU Early Expresso cardstock using my Perfect Layers Mini tool and then stitched around the edges.  To finish, I added a few epoxy dots and tied some twine into a bow with a wooden button on top. 



For the inside, I stamped another Art Impresssions stamp from the Golden Oldies line, "Lillie" and printed the sentiment with my computer.  I also added a piece of the patterned paper from the card front to the bottom of the inside to coordinate.
Okee dokee, that's it for me today.  I hope you hens have a MARVELOUS Monday and I'll see ya back in the hen house real soon.
