A real life Superhero!

Good Morning Crafty Friends!

I'm here to share a card I made for 
http://mywhimsicallittleworld.blogspot.ca/

I met Melissa Doherty in Simply B Stamps FB Group and she told us about a 3 year old lil' boy named Lucas. He's in St. Jude's Hospital in Texas and wanted home-made cards for his birthday. I immediately signed up! What is he into you ask? SUPERHEROES!

Paola is the creative genius from Paola's Papers  and My Whimsical Little World and she has the cutest
Superhero Digital Stamp. She is also revealing a Girl version today, so keep on the lookout for that Girly Hero!

So here's my card for Lucas and my first card as a DT Member for My Whimsical Little World

CS and DP are from Recollections and the star die cuts are from Sizzix and the Punch from Marvy. I also used my Circles Corner punch for some extra texture. Finished it with Stickers from my stash.

I colored this lil' hero with Prismacolor pencils. 

Here's the inside: (NOTE TO SELF: take a picture BEFORE writing in the card!! LOL)
Sentiment is from Unity Stamps and the mask and Emblem are die cuts from Michaels. Also used pierced cirlce from MFT's Die-namics Blueprints 3 set. 

Hope Lucas enjoys this card; and keeps smiling during his treatments. 

Please check out My Whimsical Little World on Facebook. Paola has weekly releases with fun challenges. 

Happy Craftin'!
