This is for the Alphabet Challenge post 1258 for H for Happy Retirement. Lesley a SCS friend sent me this image a long time ago. I decided today it was perfect for this retirement card. I followed this week's sketch and used this week's colors. I think there is something wrong with my Soft Sky ink pad because those clouds look green! LOL
Thanks for looking!

Great! Love the image and the sentiment. She looks very relaxed. The polka-dots are wonderful, especially the sparkly ones. The clouds are fine. Maybe you did what I did recently; I put Pool Party ink onto my Soft Sky pad. Funny color. Or you had some ink on the sponge and the new ink moistened it & the colors blended together. Who knows? It really is fine, just not what you wanted. Great card. The retiree will love it. TFS

Now there's a women at home in her skin! I've always loved that image but never thought of it as retirement material! It's perfect for that! Great clouds and I love the blinged up earrings, ice cubes, and ring! (Kudos to you for taking a photo that shows the sparkle ...no mean feat!)

Those challenge colors work great for your happy retirement card!....Even if your clouds are a bit green, she has those colors in her earrings and the lid of her hat, so it all ties in. I say it was meant to be, lol.

OMG! What a fantastic retirement card- giggle! I love this image - it is a hoot with the horned rimmed glasses and her admiring the big rock on her hand. LOL. Yep! Life is good! You chose the perfect sentiment to go with this wonderful image! What a fun card for the Alphabet and color challenges! ~Karen.
