Quick card

Hello Everyone
Thank you for popping in. The stitches come out tomorrow - Yay! But I won't get the results of the biopsies until 15th August! Might even go dancing tomorrow night instead of going to watch.
We're off to a party on Saturday night, which should be fun. daughter and fiance going too and OH will meet us there after work. There'll be some of the Salsa "gang" so lot's more dancing, laughs and drinks!

Today's card was made for a friend's birthday last Sunday. He helps at a Salsa event we go to once a month on a Sunday afternoon. The "boss" ( a great friend of ours) had given him the day off. We won't see him now for another month, so I've doctored it for another time. OH saw on FB that it was his birthday and told me about 30 minutes before we left the house! Men!


The original version
The text was made using Serif. I used a 2 inch square shape and rotated it 45 degrees to ensure the text fitted the box

And now the doctored version


I carefully removed the smallest square I had placed the smallest square on with 3d foam pads and replaced it with the above sentiment. Now, I would have used the small square in the SW Adorned Noble Square dies but I had omitted to remove the box before I printed it, so I used the smallest square in the Card Creator matting Basics B

Ingredients
5x5 card blank
The smaller dies from SW Adorned Noble Squares
Spellbinders Card Creator 6x6 matting basics B
Serif digit kit - Corners Brush and Stamps. Next time will do the bottom repeat at the sides!
Free font - Penelope - I liked the swirlyness of this font. It seemed to fit the pattern on the die
