I was asked to make a retirement card for my husbands' work colleague and although he doesn't have a specific hobby right now I am sure that when he retires he will soon find some interest to fill the days ahead. So I went for a generic theme on his card and here it is...
I got out my 'All Occasions Dies' by Robert Addams and cut out the tools twice - once in silver mirri and once in a blue cardstock and layered them together to look like real tools. I found a picture of a peg board on the internet and printed this out to 'hang' my tools on. The wood paper is from My Minds Eye (forget which pad) and the sentiment was cut on my Silhouette Cameo in blue cardstock and layered on silver mirri cut to form a shadow. The pegs are tiny black gems that I found in my stash.
