Nice attempt!
Hard to say 100%, because there are some covered bits. And also because as is common, neither the artist nor the recipient have a clue, so they usually just hope that it means whatever their cheat sheet suggests, and don’t know how to actually position anything.
But it looks like the first character is actually 2 characters stacked on top of one another. 自 營。 Hard to translate this, but probably something like “search yourself” or “yourself seek”, then 福, which means blessings or happiness. And then 強 means strong or powerful. Hard to decipher what someone was trying to say here, but maybe something like: seek for yourself and you will find happiness and power.
But for the “buy the card” die hard fans, this is probably close enough.
