This card is headed to James, who is 10 years old and undergoing treatment for cancer. This request came from one of our own, gljordan. James is the son of a friend and co-worker and she has asked us to send cards to help cheer him along. Shelly (aka Mcschmidty) suggested she ask for a Teapot Tuesday party, so I hope we will see him there in the future. In the meantime, if you're interested in sending a card, here's a link to the request in the forums: Asking for cards for 10yr old with cancer by gljordan at Splitcoaststampers
So, I finally broke out my MFT water stencil. I blended the four stencil layers and then blended over it with no stencil just to get a deeper color and a bit less reflection. I own this stencil because Jennifrann card(water)boarded me by incessantly posting adorable cards with it. I'm weak. I gave up all of SCS's secrets and then bought the stencil. As for the rest of the card, it's just color, cut, paste. I doubled up the elements die to try to make it look a bit like an iceberg. Both sentiments are computer generated using Comic Sans font.
This card was inspired by another young boy, who unfortunately lost his battle with cancer; but along the way garnered international attention for his love of penguins and his motto: Live Like a Penguin. His love of family and community sparked many service projects and his Penguin Raft (the name for his supporters) are still spreading that love in his name. I hope you will jump on the raft today and spread a little joy -- a smile to a stranger, a phone call to a friend, a card for no reason but to say I am thinking of you. Hugs all. Have a great day and TFL.
