Today's card posting and blog are not the normal for me, and will not be the normal for many of the Whimsy Design Team members. Our cards aren't 'cute' or 'adorable' and they aren't for sale.
Today Whimsy Stamps is releasing Crissy Armstrong's latest image of her penguin, Penguin Ray, in honor of her brother who is fighting cancer. In addition to our cards being for him, Whimsy will be donating 100% of the sales of this image to the Make A Wish Foundation in Canada.
For my project card, I decided to use Hanna Cheatem's quote and color the penguin really BRIGHT!
The digital image is printed on Neenah 110# card stock and I used Copic markers for coloring. My card base is 6" square and the DS aqua paper is cut corner to corner and one reversed. I used the Inkadinkado sentiment by Hanna Cheetem, as my inspiration for the card and laid my elements out basically like a postal envelope. The Postage Stamp die by WYSE was used for both pieces and then matted with a deep red before adding to the card base. Then I added a piece of gauze and a crayon box charm for the finishing touch.
Thank you for visiting today. I would encourage you to take a moment to remember those who are fighting this terrible disease today.

Such a hard disease to battle. I hope and pray he stays strong and wins his battle. Your card is a great way to think about it too! I love sentiment and your colors. Great work for a great cause. TFS!
