Texting

I am fairly new at texting everything but my kids and grandkids seem to only communicate that way. So when a friend asked me to make a card for a teenage girl what could be more appropriate than a cell phone showing a text?
I did a watercolor wash with Zig brushes for the background. Then just kind of played around with sizes for phone. The back is a pink glitter paper I think I purchased at JoAnns. And then a scrap of lavender. I used a corner rounder punch to look more like a phone. The white layer ifs for the phone screen. The text was done on the computer printed on a blue paper, cut out and rounded corners. After seeing a text on my phone today, I think it should have had a small comma area to look more like a word bubble. I punched out a circle for the home button and cut a slit of white for the earpiece. I've seen my grandaughters decorate their phons with carrying straps so I added a loop of ribbon and a flower charm.
