One of my colleagues who I have worked with for the past ten years is leaving to go pursue his dream of becoming a golf pro. We’ve worked together a long time, and he’s taught Eve for the past two years as well, so I wanted to make him a thank you gift before he left. I put together a pack of these cards and gave it to him earlier this week.

To get the silhouette of the golfer in black, I inked up the whole stamp in Garden Green, and then colored over just the golfer with my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker. I did not remove the green ink first — the black overpowers it so you don’t have to. It may be hard to see, but the white layer has debossed circles to look like dimples on a golf ball.

Ink: Garden Green, Basic Black

The hardest part of the end of the school year is saying good-bye to old friends.
