ewa's retirement card



I was asked to make a card like this
which was given in a sewn parchment paper envelope
closed with small clothespin I embellished with pattern paper
the pink tag reads "good luck"

since the text inside was quite long the card itself had to be pretty large too
(about half a letter size)
jeans fabric + vintage dotted scrapbooking paper + papertrey ink die (dots)

I also "opened" the cage in PS and added a bird atop

feel free to use this illustration if you wish
(click to get it large)
