Happy Retirement

TGIF everyone!  How about something fun and refreshing for a Friday post?  I could use something just like that right now since I survived a field trip to the farm today with my youngest and four screaming kindergarten classes. 
The card I'm sharing today was one that I created for a card order, she wanted something for retirement using bright tropical colors.  I used the Papertrey Ink stamp sets Friendship Jar, Friendship Jar Fillers, Friendship Jar Summer Fillers and Mega Mixed Messages.  I stamped the small jar, ice cubes, straw and drink umbrella (which was paper pieced) and then stamped the daffodil delight drink inside the jar by riping a sticky note and masking so it only filled the bottom of the small sized jar.  Then I stamped the lime/lemon, colored it with Copics, added some glossy accent for some shine and tucked it up just a bit under the paper pieced umbrella.
Supplies: Friendship Jar, Friendship Jar Fillers, Friendship Jar Summer Fillers, Mega Mixed Messages - PTI, Cosmo Cricket designer paper, Copics, Ribbon, Twine, Glossy accents, Foam tape.
