THE HOP TO STOP DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!!!!!

Hello everyone: Today's post is a bit late, I just found out about this blog hop to stop domestic violence and, even if it's almost over, I want to join in because there should always be awareness about this epidemic, where people suffer, most times in silence, abuse of all kinds that will leave scars for life.  Becca Cruger is the hostess for THE HOP TO STOP, she started this hop to help victims and survivors of domestic violence, to give them hope and encouragement and support to leave the abusive relationship.  So, even if it's a bit late, here is my card that hopefully raise awareness about this problem.

PURPLE is the color of the National Domestic Violence Awareness month and it also happens to be my most favorite color.  This lovely Orchids image is from a Power Poppy set called Orchids Rock by Marcella Hawley. I stamped this image onto a panel of Canson water color paper with Versafine black ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder, then I colored this gorgeous flowers with SU markers, and aqua painter and Prismacolor pencils. The awesome sentiments, in front and inside of my card are from this fabulous set, I think they are perfectly fitting for this cause!!

The ribbon, papers and bling are from my stash.

Here is a picture of the finished inside of my card.
