Aged To Perfection

This one is another Blue Ribbon winner . . . Included in the time-worn aspects of this layout, are some glimmer and shine –  because a life well lived ought to have plenty of glimmer and shine, don’t you think? 

After I thought the card was finished, I wondered if the curly twig should have been gilded.  My husband said to leave it as it was, but I am still debating over the idea.  

Some cards are just never done . . .
