4th of July card

Here's a card I made awhile ago for my sisters.  I used Cricut Stand and Salute cartridge.  The frame is on page 68 which was manipulated and stretched in Design studio.  The fireworks are from page 50.  Since I didn't have any glitter paper, I used a gel glitter pen for the fireworks.  The doodles are done with a Signo white pen and the fireworks were pop dotted once the mat was put on the blue paper.



Hope everyone has a wonderful, safe and sane 4th of July.  May we always remember what the holiday is truly about.  I celebrate this holiday for many reasons, one of which is the service of my Father in the Army-Pacific Campaign during WWII and my Grandson who was given a medical discharge from the Marines after obtaining the rank of Lance Corporal.  He truly grieves not being in the Corps but Once a Marine, Always a Marine.  He is currently a pre-med student and doing well.  Below is a picture of him at home shortly after completing boot camp and the Crucible.  Thanks to all those who have served!!
