I chose to work with the Army Hero image from this weeks release. I'll explain why in a bit. Copic Markers were used to color this awesome image, which I fussy cut out. This months Challenge Theme of "Add Stripes" is so perfect for the image. I pulled out my design paper and a couple of dies and got to work. The design is clean and simple, perfect for mailing without all of the bulk.
A couple weeks ago my sister, Danica, shared a FB Post about Seaman 1st Class James Ralph Kutz of Kokomo, Indiana. He is a veteran who served during WWII and he is turning 100-years old on June 15, 2015. I knew that I wanted to send him a card for his birthday to wish him the best and thank him for his dedication to our country. When I saw this weeks release, especially Army Hero I had to create a card for Mr. Kutz. I know he wasn't in the army, but I didn't have any Navy images on hand.
If you would like to send Seaman 1st Class James Ralph Kutz a card yourself, that would be awesome. Cards are being mailed to ...
Salena Catron
c/o James Ralph Kutz
3310 Orleans Drive
Kokomo, IN 46902
You can also read about and see pictures of Mr. Kutz on FB here. The kindness of this young lady is heartwarming and I wish I could be a fly on the wall when he received all of the mail for his birthday!
Now lets look at all of the images being released.
