"Purple is the color of National Domestic Violence Awareness month.
1 in 3 women will experience domestic violence over the course of their lifetimes.
Let that sink in - 33% of all the women you meet.
And women aren't the only people who are affected! Women, men, transgender - gender doesn't matter. Domestic violence is something that exists regardless of gender, socioeconomic status, religion, education level, etc.
And yet, it's something that is rarely talked about in very public ways. It's something that's hidden and hushed. And since papercrafters are some of the most amazing people out there, some of you have agreed to make a card (or cards) to raise awareness for this issue." - Becca Crugar
Please pay a visit to one of blogland`s most charismatic and talented ladies...the incredible Becca Crugar. You can find all the details about the hop at Becca's blog.
Card details: A delightful diecut (colored with Copics & winked with Stella) and some luxurious textured cardstock from my dear sweet friend across the ocean, Miss Anita from My Papercraft World.
Wonderful! And just what someone in the dv situation needs -- a friend!

This is a wonderful card, and perfectly purple for Becca's hop. Love the crisp, clean look of this card, especially on our lovely Miss Anita's paper. Beautiful card. Love it! Missing you tons!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteHaha - Bev the offer is still out there - I won't make any more cards ever if it means you'll come to my house with a suitcase (ok, I'm probably lying - I'd crack after 4 days)
DeleteI love the texture of this cardstock it is wonderful and the simplicity of the card makes it even better!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful CAS card for the Hop to Stop! Thank you for caring about this important and very serious issue that has impacted the lives of so many of us, and for supporting the hop with your beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great word, friend. Sometimes they can pull you through the worst of times! Love your card. It is perfect for the hop to stop DV!
ReplyDeleteThe texture of that cardstock is deeeeevine! I just want to run my fingers across it. This is such a gorgeously pristine creation! I think if I even looked at this sideways I'd manage to smudge it with ink somehow. I'm so jealous of what all you CASxperts can do! Thank you for the compliments (blush*) and thank you for sharing your work at the Hop to Stop.
ReplyDeleteOh my! I absolutely love your card and the CAS design. The word "friend" pops off the page, and the hints of shimmer simply adds the perfect, little touch. So BEAUTIFUL!! I hope you don't mind if I CASE this lovely creation. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! The perfect card for Becca's Hop to Stop, and that dramatic diecut looks wonderful on Anita's gorgeous card :)
