Another Farewell Card

I have another friend at work who was laid off so I made a card for him, too.

I have to say that we were surprised that he didn't get to keep his job because, although he has less seniority, he's a Physics teacher and they are usually so hard to find that although you get laid off, you're hired back right away!

It came as a bit of a shock when another teacher applied for his job...  :(

I hope he lands on his feet and whoever gets to have him as a teacher is so lucky!  I know I said that about my other co-worker friend, but it's true!  The funny thing is that they are sooooo different, but they are both fabulous teachers and the kids like both of them a lot.  It's amazing how that works.  The one thing they have in common is that they are both really comfortable with the subject matter they teach and children (well - teens) and I think the kids really pick up on that.

I'll miss them both so much!

Anyway, here's the card:


I stamped the fern leaf in subtle ink, then in basic black to make it pop.  I used my aquapainters to give the "unique" leaf some colour and then put crystal effects on it to give it texture and shine.

I think it's a very simple card, but really evokes the idea of being unique (as that's the stamp I chose from the Define Your Life set)

Stamps:  Organic Grace, Define Your Life
Ink:  Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Sage Shadow, Garden Green, Old Olive, Certainly Celery
Paper:  Basic Black, Sahara Sand
Tools, etc:  Crystal Effects, Aquapainters, Edge Distressor
