Hi! This card was made for today's Limited Supply Challenge: Make a Christmas card for a Random Act of Kindness without the use of die cuts and with limited layers.
I usually donate 25 "Children's themed" Christmas/Holiday cards to the local Children's Hospital every year. You see, my brother, when he was a senior in high school, was in an accident, and coma for over 3 months. The accident happened 3 days before Christmas Vacation. It was a HORRIBLE time for our family. I quit my teaching job, and stayed by his side the ENTIRE time. I never left the hospital. Neither did my mother. My oldest, then in 4th grade, kept me company after school and the entire 2 weeks of his vacation. A very kind woman used to bring him Christmas cards. It really made an impression on us. She was thinking about US, and our shared pain. So, I try to make sure the FAMILIES of the sick and injured are given the cards I make.
The images were stamped in cut out. I sponged in Palette Seascape and Reflection Blue for the sky. The snow is MS chunky glitter.

What a wonderfully giving woman you are, Faith! I can personally relate to your story about your brother and it conjures warm fuzzies that you continue to pay it forward in your own creative way!
Your penguin scene is stinkin' adorable and so beautifully crafted. Darling as can be!
