Texting

Good evening everyone! I made this quick card for Cute Card Thursday where the text should be the main focus. The text is computer generated and I might add that it is also my husband's favorite toast at any family gathering. With that in mind, I think I will send this card to our son for his birthday....this should put a smile on his face!
I used papers from DCWV Once Upon a Time, flower is by Prima, lovely corners are from Megahobby and the beer mug is a stamp from Custer's Last Stamp. I used liquid applique to give it a frothy look and I applied crystal lacquer on the beer stein.
Thanks for visiting. Hugs!

Miss Tilda with parasol for FS#109

Hello everyone .....wishing you all a wonderful week ahead! Hope you all had a happy and safe July 4th holiday!
This sweet Tilda is from the new wedding collection. I colored her sometime ago, but didn't quite know how I would incorporate her into a card.

The beautiful corner adorner was a gift from a dear friend.
