Saying goodbye is never easy when you work with someone you like and they change jobs. Yesterday one of our attorneys left our firm and is going somewhere else. This was the first time I ever made a departing attorney a card, but this lady was very kind and when my husband passed away, she helped me with my paperwork and helped me tread water when my head was foggy and she made sure my interests were put in the forefront. For that alone I will always be thankful.
I made a Paris themed card as I know she studied in Paris when young, and she speaks the most beautiful French I have ever heard. For this card I used Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous background stamp, and the focal image is from Hero Arts. The ink I used for the background was Wendy Vecchi's, and I sponged Tim Holtz Distress Ink around the image.
As many of you know, I love Paris. While thinking about this card, I realized that my Paris and French collection of stamps is rather large. I don't use them enough, so I am glad I had a reason to get them inky!
Until next time!

Ooooooh, that's lovely! :)
This is such a creative and thoughtful card you made for your departing co-worker. I'm sure she will love it, because you made it with such thought and care, personalizing it to something you knew she would like. Your cards are always so special in the way that you make them each for someone, paying attention to their personality. THAT is the true gift. Lovely job.
Very artistic card. Beautiful!
Your friend is definitely going to love your card, and its very French feel. The figure even has a haute couture look to her. Blessings!
How thoughtful and wonderfully nice!!!
