365 Cards Day 83 Make it match


The challenge today at 365 card was to make the envelope match your card.
I've been struggling with this retirement card for a couple of days. I wanted to put an image of a lady doctor on the front, but only had a stamp of either a male doctor or a female nurse. SO I did a bit of doctoring myself. I covered up the cap and the hair bunches on the nurse before inking the stamp, and whipped off the tape before printing, then added some hair of an appropriate shade for the lady doctor concerned.
When the challenge for a matching envelope emerged this morning I decided that this would be the one that I would decorate. In the end I'm quite pleased, let's hope that the doctor will be too.

    You've done a fabulous job with that stamp, I'm sure the recipient will love it as it's so personal.

    Really like the main backing paper you have used, such a subtle design.

    fab idea to amend your stamp like that. I'm often stuck for just the right image for an occasion and must keep this idea tucked somewhere I'll remember it.

    I like the colours on this one and the envelope matches well without being too fussy
