This is how I combined my challenges,...I really like how it turned out and was happy that I was able to accomplish it.

This is the lucky 7 recipe:

Stamps: congrats...and Adirondack chair from the Lock hart Stamp Company.
*****
Card stock: pretty in pink...going gray...regal rose...mellow moss...whisper white...tempting turquoise...so saffron...taken with teal...and cream printer paper.
*****
Ink: basic gray and rose red.
*****
Markers: stampin' write and black glaze pen.
*****
Punches: hounds tooth, Swiss dots, distressed stripes folder...2 1/4" scalloped square...rectangles die...1/16" hand held circle...and key tag.
*****
Additional supplies: stampin' dimensionals...s/u mini glue dots(I just recently started using these and I absolutely love them...so! so! sticky)...crystal effects...snail...fiskar...score-it...pink satin ribbon...gold mini brads...pink, yellow, and green mini discs.

Inside the card...I carried over the hounds tooth embossing to the edges of my printer paper.

Here you get a glimpse of a couple of the pink ribbons I used...I can see the retiree sitting outside listening to the birds and sounds of nature on the first day of retirement...mmmmmm...so nice.

The sentiment says "let the relaxation begin...happy retirement".
