Here is another A5 card (you know those ones that feel as though they are a 12″ layout to fill). This is a retirement card for one of my husbands work colleagues, so I thought that the sentiment fit perfectly. I have combined the colours from this week’s Play Date Cafe with the current Lily Pad Cards – Inspirational Challenge. I was inspired by Vicky’s card, actually… I’m often inspired by Vicky’s cards! I was also very excited when I saw that my card had been the inspiration for Sherri, and her card is just wonderful!!!
