Judy gave us a site that is amazing. A person could find inspiration from beginning to end. I chose this piece, http://charmingcharlie.com/cc/produc...ame=&pdpTrail=
A friend asked me to make a card for an elderly man who she thinks of as her Dad. I chose to emboss the image with gold. I then added a corner embellishment cut from a die. I added a gold and black braid. I used a gold leaf pen to write the sentiment. I wanted the card to look more vintage, than masculine. tfl

Well, first of all, you have beautiful handwriting!! And this card is just stunning! Your friend is going to love what you have made for her to give. I have to tell you, I almost chose that gecko watch as one of my favorites. My sister has a gecko and I thought it would be perfect! Glad to see someone chose it!
