A colleague of mine will be retiring this month and I wanted to make a special card for her. She has worked hard for many years and deserves only the best as she starts this next chapter in her life. I tried to make this card representative of a place I would like to go to relax and retire myself. I used the Tropical Party stamp set from the Summer Mini catalog. For the varigated background, I sponged layers of color across Whisper White cardstock. I framed it with the negative image left over when using the Top Note die in my Big Shot. The palms on the trees are popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals and the flower was made with 3 punches from the Boho Blossoms flower punch.
Here is a close-up of the card:
