Howdy,
The cook at my work has decided to
retire this year. When I asked her what her plans are for retirement,
she told me that she plans to do more travelling with her husband,
most likely to more casinos. I saw an iris folding car with suitcases
on Pinterest and decided that would fit well with a casino as the
background.
This is the result:
The card size is 5X7 inches. I cut the
car imagine out with my Silhouette Cameo and printed out the iris
folding design. I used purple and red paper for the suitcases, black
paper for the tires, gray paper that I inked up with distress ink for
the bumpers, and blue paper (her favorite color) for the whole of the
car. I cut little black strips to go over the suitcases and a black
rear windshield. The headlights are cut from red paper. I completed
the iris folding by following the pattern on the print out I
mentioned earlier. The road and brown sandy areas I cut by hand. I
printed out an image that I found on google for the background. I
wanted it to look as if the car is driving to Las Vegas. I cut the
image to fit around the car and pasted all of the pieces onto the
card. I used my Sketch Pens to write the Happy Retirement and my
Cameo to cut out the blue oval. I adhered the oval onto a piece of
foam to make it pop a little.
On the inside:
Good Luck! Written
with my Sketch pens on a white oval and then pasted onto a blue oval.
