It is Lucyna's last week with us in the Designer Spotlight and we would like to say a huge thank you for all of your creations over the past month. It has been a real pleasure to have you along with us!

I made a card for a U.S. WW2 Veteran who will be celebrating his 100th Birthday in a few days. There is an appeal for cards if you would like to send one. 

I used a Tim Holtz Theories Cling Stamp and chose this lovely man with a balloon, perfect for an older gentleman I thought. 


I used a MISTI stamping tool and a Simon's Exclusive Schoolhouse Red Ink Pad to stamp the background. I then used a Black Zig Brush Marker to color over the top of the man and balloon. I then distressed the edges, added a few faux stitches and added some Gina K Black Prismatic Glitter to the balloon 

I layered with Schoolhouse Red and Black Card Stock and for the base card I stamped the Graph design in the red ink. All of the edges were sponged with Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Ink 



Here is Joe :-) Come on crafty peeps, lets all send this lovely man a card.
