First of all, I'd like to share a fellow blogger's post with you - I just read
Becca's story last night, and shared it on Facebook, but I wanted to draw more attention to it. Today I'll be making a card for this cause in solidarity. Domestic violence encompasses far more than physical violence, and affects far more people than we know. Please head on over to
The Damsel of Distressed Cards, Becca's blog, and be inspired to join in.
And now for something completely different...10 points to Gryffindor for recognizing the reference!
Supplies: clip art from The Graphics Fairy; Cuttlebug embossing folder; kraft card stock; Versamark; black EP; Timeless Twine; Tonic distressing tool
This card was inspired by the
Kraft Journal colour challenge (and the vintage feel of the graphic). I'm also popping it in over at
Open-Minded Crafting Fun for the Pumpkin/Jack o' Lantern challenge.
It's the end of October. I'm not sure where the rest of the year went but ACCCCCK!
xoxo,
Jessi
Awesome vintage Halloween card. Becca's story is very important to get out there. It isn't unusual for victims of abuse not to realize they are being abused. ty for posting.
