retirement card


Sadly our local primary school is losing the head teacher after 23 years as she is retiring. As a memeber of the Parent Council I volunteered to make a card from the Parent Council. I decided that 23 years worth of service was worthy of a really special card. To ma special card usually means a parchment card as they take longer and just look fantastic.


The picture isn't great, there are silver flower garlands traced in the little panels and the setiment reads "wishing you well in your retirement"

It has been a while since I made a parchment card at all and even longer since I made one with this much grid work in, it took me 8 hours over 3 days!! I had forgotten how long they take lol

Fingers crossed she will like it
