A card for our times

If you have friends who are struggling with having to stay at home during these testing times (obviously not crafters, we can relish the extra crafting time!) how about a card to make them smile?  I've seen this sentiment used on several Facebook memes and it always makes me laugh, as well as reminding me of an important task.  And I thought it would work perfectly with this retro image, one of a set I bought in an etsy download many years ago.


I produced the sentiment on the computer,  cut it out very roughly and drew in a border.  I added a retro backing paper from a pad that came with a magazine about 10 years ago - almost a retro piece in itself! 

Now I'm going to head over to the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers where for the first time in several years i'm going to be joining in as a player rather than a DT member.  The theme is R is for Retro
