What a fun card to make. It was even more fun because I made it at work. I scoured the basement and found a lot of interesting things, but no twine, so I ended up using the piece of cotten yarn or whatever it is that comes with a turkey when you buy it. I never use it and always save it and I had taken it to work one day with my cardmaking stuff. So there it is.
I started with a scrap of burgandy CS on a piece of blueprint wrapping paper (looks like Kraft) Then I found a prestamped scrap with Old French Writing and glued that on, and also a tiny piece of dotted dp. It needed to be there.
The picture is from an old Kim Anderson calendar. I save those too. I cut out an oval with the help of my kleenex box top and put on a leftover flower from last week's TLC to use cardboard. I wet the already stamped flower, pulled it apart and made a 'shadow' with the back piece.
Sentiment is computer generated and I had to give it to DH. We have a family owned business and when one has a bad day, we all do. The inside says, "I always think of you". tfl

Well, didn't you come up trumps with your workplace card! I was looking at the thumb thinking that you'd made one of your usual great vintage-feel cards - and to think that you made it with limited supplies too! I used to avoid ovals like the plague till I got a Wizard , but you even found a handy template. Way to go!!
