Susanbcards: Storytelling by Spellbinders Hero Card

I really like to donate cards, not only because I make so many, but also because I've read how much such a small gesture can mean to people. There are lots of groups that take cards, Cardz for Kidz is one, they send cards to many groups, not just children. You write a quick note and sign your name/city. Here's the link: https://www.cardzforkidz.org/

Sometimes I'm at a loss for what to write or don't have much time, so I send a package of cards (with blank insides) to Cards for Kindness read more at https://www.creativekindness.org/

If you want to send a card to an individual, there are lots of Facebook groups, I belong to Because Kindness and the Angel Card Project. I send a lot to individuals, sometimes there are elderly veterans who are asking for cards. I've always wanted something special for them, although just a thank you is always welcome.

For my card today, I used Distress Watercolor Cardstock, diecut it with a rectangle die and sprayed it with Distress Spray Stains, propping the paper in a box horizontally and letting the spray move down the paper. You can use a piece of scrap paper or paper towel to mask off 1/2 the paper at a time to avoid making too much purple. I let it dry and then spritzed the paper and blotted it off with a paper towel to leave splatters.

The dies are from the "Storytelling by Spellbinders" Collection, great for scrapbooking but I love the dies for cards. You can see the entire collection HERE.

I cut "Hero" from white cardstock and used vellum for the shadow. I also used Wink of Stella on the white cardstock for a little shine.

The boots are cut 2x to make a pair from scrap cardstock. The dog tags are from the "Badges of Honor" dieset. Supplies are linked below. Using my links help support me at no additional cost to you. I appreiate it!
