Relaxing During Retirement

Wouldn't it be nice to retire for the sole purpose of relaxing, dreaming, discovering and just...playing? I created this masculine retirement card for the Caardvarks latest challenge: Stuck on You. Tons of fabulous entries using stickers! The basis of the card stemmed from wanting to use this odd, but very intriguing hardware piece that I recently acquired. Thus, the masculine basis, then I found some patterned paper that invoked "retirement" (although I'm sad to say I'm a long way from it-I admire all the ladies that can craft and spend time with their grandbabies!) and catered my stickers towards that theme. I added the two eyelets to complete the visual triangle of the metal. On the focal sticker "play" I backed it with some coordinating paper and edged it with the same deco scissors, it sticks out a bit from the card.

Here's to retirement in 35 years!
