The Greeting Farm Handy Ian Birthday Card

I just made this card for my Uncle's birthday tomorrow. I colored Ian with my copics, this is the first stamp I have colored with them.  I only have a small collection of copics right now. I used a double sided tool paper from Joann's for the inside and outside. I also used sandpaper and some brads that look like screws.

I made the inside pop-up and wrote the sentiment on a piece of sandpaper.
