Well today is Timeless Tuesday at Flourishes and the challenge is to emboss...with ink and powder or dry embossing with a stencil. I chose to use the coffee set and emboss with ink and powder, wish I could jazz up my old face as easily by using ink and powder but that just ain't happening anymore so.... I used gold embossing powder on this one and just did a simple card with the cups, a phrase, and a bit of ribbon and bling.Poor quality picture and I frayed my ribbon...not a good showing.
I'm frustrated with this getting old business. Have trouble getting RX's filled with my so called medical coverage and they only want $203, for some asthma meds. It's a real crapper this "golden years" time of life. I think I'll hire a hit man and just call it a day. Just kidding DD !

Oh man can I identify with all you are saying! Yikes. This card is totally exquisite though - really love it - so elegant! Hang in there! Hold off on the hit man as that's just so permanent! LOL ~chris
I hear you Pat and I didn't really think I was old but I sure feel it these days!!!! Maybe it's the weather and we will all feel tons better once the warm and sunny weather hits??!!Your card is very elegant and I hope you are having a better day today!

Like how you did the ribbon, Pat. And the slight fraying makes me think of comfortable, old friends and my Mom seems to like them best to have coffee with. I wouldn't know. Still not grown up enough to drink it, even if I am starting to notice that I am aging and it ain't pretty. Feels and smells a bit like spring up here today. Think maybe you need to walk outside and take a deep breath. Oh and let me know if DD is on a plane to come and straighten you out. I'd come down and egg her on for that!
Getting old is not for sissies, for sure! I cringe when I go to the drugstore with my mom, and the prices she pays under her "plan."
Beautifully elegant card!
Pretty card, love the gold embossing.
Oh mother-- I might just follow Denise's advice and come up there and have some words with you! I might just go pick her up on the way! ;-)
Love your card! I just made one yesterday that has some of the same things going on -- it's really wierd how we think so alike sometimes!
This card is gorgeous Pat...

I'm with you about heading into the golden years, Pat! LOVE your sense of humor! Good thing you have this all this wonderful creativity to use in your stamping! Great card!
So elegant! You nailed this challenge!!
Classy card -- I love it!
Very very lovely! I think the Winter weather after a while makes us all feel older. When the sun is out I start feeling better. Hope you are too!
