The Hop to STOP...



Mixed Media piece created using Dylusions and Glimmermist sprays and 
Unity Stamps with gloss black embossing powder.

If you're wondering why everything in blogland is turning purple... there IS a reason - the Hop to Stop is here! 

You see, 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. 

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. Together, we CAN make a powerful impact. 


These are all the incredible companies who've agreed to support this blog hop. 14 companies and over $500 in prizes! So HOP on over to The Damsel of Distressed, to join in and help raise awareness, and do something positive to STOP Domestic Violence.

In AUSTRALIA... Free counselling is available through the 

National Sexual Assault,
Domestic Family Violence Counselling Service

Mama Elephant Pandamonium and Celebration sentiment, heat embossed with Antique Gold on Gelatos watercolour background.

  11. The more mixed media I see, the more I'm tempted to try it, but still resorting back to my stamps and die-cuts. Your first card is just beautiful and the sentiment is perfect for the cause. And the second card who doesn't like pandas, in fact I just purchased a digital set and using for Christmas.
