My hubby asked me to make a retirement card for a colleague of his who is leaving work tomorrow after a very long time with the same company. When my hubby first started on the buses it was a conductor on green Routemasters and then once that was mastered he went into the driving school to be a bus driver. When my eldest was young we'd sometimes go for a ride on his dad's bus at the week-ends or school holidays. Memories eh?
This card was made using my Debbi Moore Vintage Transport CD. I have used some backing papers and decoupage sheet. I used some scraps of the backing paper for the symbols around the image. The green Routemasters here mainly did a "101" service so I managed to stamp a "101" to the front of the bus.
Fingers crossed the recipient likes it.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
