I love Purple!

Happy Card Making Day.

Here is a card I just made today:



I guess most of you who follow my blog will already know I am a purple freak. However today I have a very good reason to pull out my neon purple ink as Becca is holding a 'Blog to Stop' domestic violence. Here is why:

You see, purple is the colour 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.

As today is 'World Card Making Day'. I really wanted to join in and make a card for this worthy cause.

I was also inspired by a few challenges that I have seen today:

Winnie and Walter Sketch challenge for WCMD-I flipped the sketch.

Less is More-who want to see 'jewel' colours. I have gone for amethyst. My engagement ring is amethyst...I know not a great surprise!


I hope you get time to create today and also to join Becca here and raise awareness of domeatic abuse.

Today is a day for all us 'card making' lovers to get inky-hope you get some time x

edited to add-I forgot Winnie and Walter are asking us to take craftie's today. So hubby just took this of me hiding in the corner of my tiny craft space-you can see it is getting dark now, time for me to stop crafting I think!
