Challenge day 1 of post everyday for 5 days

Day 1  - Of a challenge post 1 design everyday, for 5 days.  This is thanks to my friend Cheryl Algie.

I had to make a card for a very dear and well loved workmate, as she has retired and now going to enjoy the finer things in life. I got this idea from Teneale Williams (tenealewilliams.com.au) I totally wanted to use this stamp set, Ray of Sunshine, as this is what Joan is to us all.

I have just changed the colours and and added I bit of embossing, but totally off her sketch. Thank you Teneale.

We are partying with Joan tomorrow night, so hope she has a great farewell and enjoys her retirement.
