Mama Lovebug & Dawn Mercedes Welcome Spring and the Change of Seasons

Welcome Spring and the Change of Seasons plus perhaps a Change of Circumstance.

Mama Lovebug here today with a gift idea for a retirement.  This can be quite a dramatic change in one's season of daily routine.  Do you know someone who is retiring?  Have you been thinking of making a special card for that person?  I had occasion to create just such a card using a vintage freebie digi stamp - a corset.  I thought this would go along with a computer-generated sentiment - Corset's Your Retirement (hey you could use it for a birthday too - Corset's Your Birthday) - get the idea??

Here is my Double-Sided Stand- Up Corset You're Retiring Card:
The Top

 The Bottom

The Whole Corset

Recipe:
*Vintage freebie image - printed twice in two horizontal directions, fussy cut, adhered to another fussy cut layer (making a total of four fussy cuttings)
*Crop-o-dile punching down the center and decorative glittery brads
*Stickles for top and bottom and Stardust Clear gel pen
*Computer-generated sentiment
*Trim for bottom and three bows made from our LoveBug Creations Rumple Ribbon at the LBC Store
*Double-sided tape for the top to adhere to the other side of the card

I had a lot of fun making this one and I hope you're inspired to try your hand at making one too.........cyberhugs...........Mama LoveBug

Now on to Dawn Mercedes' Project!

A quick card b/c I have been on the verge of flu...trying to keep it at bay!

Chose a few sheets of funky papers and layer on top of your card base.

Then...EMBELLISH!
