Candy’s Land

Hi everyone, here is a card I made up for the mailman where I work, he will be retiring on July 11th. He is the nicest man and so funny, so all the girls that work in the shopping center where I work wanted to do something nice for him. We all pitched in to get him a gift card and I was asked to make the card. He talked a lot about golf so that was my inspiration for this card. The sentiment was made on my computer, but the idea is from a Rubbernecker sentiment that says birthday instead of retirement.

The Rubbernecker image was stamped on PTI white cs (love this card stock) in Adirondack Pitch Black. Colored in with my Copic markers (love these too). The background is done again with my airbrush machine using SU re-inkers, after masking the image. The DP is from a huge pack of DP I got from Sam’s club awhile ago by My Mind’s Eye. The card stock is SU Old Olive and Not Quite Navy. Added some Dew Drops. I wanted to keep it manly so no ribbon. I needed enough room so a lot of people could sign it, so the card size is 51/2 x 51/2 square. It’s funny cause Ralph here kind of looks like are mailman….lol!!
