and I just had to show my appreciation with a card.
I used up some very old stash on this card.
The 'thank you' topper had been made up quite some time ago that got forgotten, and then put in the box of half finished items. It had been sitting there so long, that it was actually falling apart. I trimmed a few elements to get better proportions, sponged new edges, placed new double-sided tape on all the elements, re-assembled the card. Lastly, embellishing with ribbon and brown pearls - It was difficult to resist putting more embellishments on it ... after all, it was for a man ;-)
