Vintage Autumn TimeCompleted by Gwyneth George

I took several elements from this kit, together with a background from cup358090_99 into one of my graphics packages and resized and played around with my layout until I had a square card front I was happy with. I added a greeting "Ar Eich Ymddeoliad" (Welsh for "On Your Retirement") and put second copies of a couple of the elements to one side so that I had them for decoupaging. I then printed my A4 design sheet onto Matt Crafty Bob paper. I created a square base card by trimming to size and then scoreing an A4 sheeto of cream Adorable Scorable cardstock. I stuck a strip of gold textured cardstock towards the left hand side before attaching the base image directly to the front of the card. I used 1mm and 2mm deep, double sided, foam tape to attach the second frame and clock layer.

I've used elements from this kit to make a retirement card for a man, but with bows and flowers, etc., in the kit it would be just as easy to make a card for a female.
