Today I made a retirement card for a friend. When I saw the challenge I looked through my stamps and found this very very old stamp. And yes I never have inked it. Shame on me. Maybe I'm now at the age were the classic golfer is more appropriate for my age friends. I colored the golfer with copics and ran it through a embossing folder. The bottom of the card was embossed with the bottom of a frame e/f. I computerated the sentiment ,and added brads. I sponged around the image and drew silver lines around the card. tfl

THis is wonderful! I love that image. It reminds me of Payne Stewart in his plus fours. He was my DH's fave golfer of all time and we were lucky enough to see him play a few times. Terrific card!

Great image and I love the effect that your folder gives it. This is not how I would choose to spend MY retirement (I see more paper in that future!!) However, I know many who would choose this method of relaxation and fun!! Very handsome colors and card.
