<p>I made this card for my niece&#8217;s husband who is leaving for basic training, it was also his birthday. I built it on a kraft cardbase, tore a book page and sprayed it with my <a href="https://thefrugalcrafter.wordpress.com/2013/03/15/diy-spray-inks-shimmers-and-ink-daubers/">homemade shimmer spray</a> and layered an embossed blue panel that I glided a white Gel Stick on top to bring out the design. I stamped a never before inked Statue of Liberty and colored it with Gel Sticks. Added a few eyelets and a Happy Birthday sentiment and that was it! Easy peasy! Have a great Monday everyone and til next time happy crafting!</p>
