Hello Blog Lovers! :)
I am here for a cause. A worthy cause to create awareness about domestic violence! Becca from The Damsel of distressed cards has initiated this event and I am supporting her by making this purple colored card.
You can find the blog post HERE.
Purple is the color of National Domestic Violence Awareness month.
And 1 in 3 women will experience domestic violence over the course of their lifetimes.
And true that, women aren't the only people who are affected by it!
By creating awareness, I want people to know that one should keep courage and believe in themselves - Because they matter! :)
Even though one is not abused, people close to you are..It is often such a neglected topic that people prefer to remain silent rather than raise their voice.. I want to encourage them to believe in who they are and come out of that dark zone - Because you matter!
:)
For the card, I have inked the stamps with seedless preserves and weathered wood distress ink and sprinkled water over them before stamping. The stamp is from Fiskars - Scratch from petal stamp set. And sentiment from STAMPlorations - Hashtag authentic.
I am also entering it for Pinterest Inspired Challenge
And
Hugs xx
Very well written Suchi and sometimes just a chance occasion or article or words are important to bring about a change. I am happy you are playing along. I too want to share more purple creations but as you know time is always a constraint for us crafters
