Hi Everyone! Welcome to my blog. I have made a special card today for a very serious matter here in our country. Purple is the color of Domestic Violence Awareness month. Did you know that 33% of the women you meet have experienced domestic violence over the course of their lifetime? This does not count the men and children who have also been abused.
SO, many of us are making cards to raise awareness about this issue. Together we CAN make a powerful impact. Fourteen paper crafting companies are supporting this Hop to Stop Domestic Violence event. They are giving away amazing prizes for those who enter a card by October 14th. You can see the hop and rules here -- Damsel of Distressed.
I hope that you will join us in this Hop to Stop Domestic Violence.
Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Here is a closer view of the silk flowers I used.
I stamped a butterfly on light purple card stock, fussy cut it and popped it up on the die cut background. Bridal glitter from Sparkle N Sprinkle was used around the edges of the card.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Ah-h so happy that you were able to coordinate the details of Hop to STOP to create this beautiful card along with meeting other challenge requirements, Thank you for bringing awareness to Domestic Violence...we all need to find some words we are comfortable with to begin talking about this issue. Thanks for participating April!
Lovely card! Thanks for helping raise awareness for domestic violence. I am an elementary teacher and see it all too often.

Wonderful card - the shimmery paper, the lattice scroll, the gorgeous butterflies! It's like i'm sitting outside in the butterfly garden (my nieghbor has one, and they float over our fence all the time!) watching them dance and play and land in their carefree, beautiful way - absolute perfection! Thanks for linking up to the Hop to Stop blog - take care!
What a wonderful card - love the die cut over the purple, and the wonderful butterfly. The glitter border is a lovely touch. I have popped over from the Hop to Stop.
Blessings
