I've got a few birthdays on the horizon, but there's one in particular that stands out. My dear friend, who I'd describe as a modern-day Sofia—except with a tongue loosened by a bit of Irish charm—is about to get a year older.
Let's start with the card. I went for something clean and simple, with a digital from CNWDesignCo. I tweaked the sentiment to suit our mutual love for those iconic ladies. If you're as fond of The Golden Girls as we are, you'll recognise the font (Monotype Corsiva) from the show's title card—because why not go full Blanche and embrace the fabulousness?
The card's been coloured with Promarkers and embellished with two red glitter hearts. Now, onto the inside. I was thinking of adding an insert that would make any fan of the show chuckle: "Happy Birthday! One year closer to Shady Pines!." If you know, you know. And if you don't—well, you need to binge-watch the series, pronto.

Oh I know, Wendy, and you did a great job portraying the girls on your card. The Shady Pines reference is a hoot. Thanks for sharing your fun card with us at Just Us Girls. I'm singing the theme song now.
Absolutely perfection ... so glad you joined our Friends Challenge at Just Us Girls.
The card is fantastic! The Golden Girls theme is a great choice and the sentiment made me chuckle. Love the use of Promarkers and those red glitter hearts add such a lovely touch. Well done!
