Can you tell this is a thank you card?

So if you're in the Blockheads Facebook group
(and if you're not, consider yourself duly invited!)
you may have seen the recent discussion
on my lack of cards with Karen.

She, by the way, has the opposite of lack!

Anyway, I needed a thank you card for my
cousin, who likes coffee more than anyone
I've ever met, so, whether it looks like it or
not from the outside, here is a thank you
card with grosgrain ribbon and Memento
Ink in Rich Cocoa

Stamp Set Used: Coffee Tea Full Sheet from Blockheads.  These are available as singles, as
well.
