30 and fabulous!

My cousin just turned 30 and I wanted to send her a special card to mark the occasion. She is a pilot in the US Air Force so I thought this HK pilot image would be perfect! This card was one of my first attempts at using the Gypsy. It took me over an hour of trial and error and 3 You Tube tutorials to figure out how to weld the letters a n d together to make and! It was worth it though and now I'm somewhat confident that I can do it again! I used Gypsy font for the and, Forever Young for the fabulous, Once Upon a Princess for the 30, and Hello Kitty Greetings for the pilot and plane. :) Maria

  4. Great idea and cute card. I took me a while to get used to welding and all that on DS. Keep up the good work.
