Celebrate the start of a brand new chapter with this wonderfully witty Happy Retirement greetings card, featuring one of William Shakespeare's most famous stage directions from 'The Winter's Tale, Act III' and finished with a holographic embellishment of a beautifully illustrated open book with gently fanned, curling pages.
Perfect for book lovers, theatre enthusiasts or anyone with a good sense of humour, this unique retirement card is a fun way to wish someone well as they leave the world of work behind and head off on their next adventure.
The front of the card features the stage direction:
"[Exit, pursued by a bear]" - From 'The Winter's Tale, Act III' by William Shakespeare.
The illustrated holographic embellishment catches the light beautifully, and makes the card feel just as memorable as the occasion itself.
Designed and illustrated in my little studio right here in Central Scotland, this card celebrates a love of books, classic literature and the joy of new beginnings.
A thoughtful bookish, literary retirement card that's perfect for Shakespeare fans, readers and anyone ready to make a memorable exit into retirement.

Kraft cards are handmade in Scotland using recycled card and paper, and measure approx 148mm x 105mm (C6). They come complete with a co-ordinating white envelope sealed tightly in a clear cello bag, and inside each is a fitted liner insert which is left blank for your message. As each card is individually handmade yours may differ very slightly from that shown, but this only serves to make your card unique and is all part of the nature of handmade products.
