You've probably heard the term Random Act of Kindness and in the stamp world, we refer to this as a RAK. Stampers will send RAKs for any good reason -- a sunny day works! On one of the stamping forums I belong to, a woman wrote that she had received a traveling RAK -- you receive it, sign in and put your city and state, and then send it on to someone else, who receives the same instructions. Eventually, it will be sent to its original sender to see where the card has traveled and who it has touched. This woman noted that her son was very distressed that he had to send the card on after he had signed it. So, I emailed her and asked for her info and I'm sending him a card today -- he gets to keep this one! It isn't a fabulous card, but hopefully, it will make up for him having to relinquish the card he treasured receiving!
Sorry about the glare! I started with a base of Really Red and cut the square from the middle. This card measures 4x4 so it was easy to figure where to cut the square. I stamped the image from Animal Crackers onto acetate and adherd it to the back of the square. I tried to color the acetate, but as you can see, it didn't really work well and I was in a hurry, so I let it go. Once it was adhered, I cut a 3 3/4" square and put it over that side of the card so the acetate window would show up well. Smile is from a retired sentiment set that I don't know if I can ever pass on -- I love the font of the words in this set and they are so easy to reach for and use for so many occasions!
I used Crystal Effects to simulate drips from the ice block and I hope that Luka gets it! Hopefully, if he doesn't, his mom will point out to him what they are supposed to be.
Now, I know this isn't a FAB card; however, when you are his age, just getting mail is a big deal. Until I can really get into my room and stamp for an extended period of time, this will have to do. I know it will brighten his day because his name is the one going on the envelope.
Hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend and that you are rested for the remainder of the week! Enjoy!
