Batty for Adornit and The Hop to Stop Domestic Violence

Today, I'm creating my third project for The Hop to Stop Domestic Violence, hosted by Becca Cruger from Damsel of Distressed Cards.  Purple is the color designated for domestic violence.  Please, feel free to join in by linking up your newly created "purple" card, as well.  Hurry,  though, the challenge ends Sunday, Oct 30th at noon CST.

I wanted to make one more Halloween card, and decided to watercolor this Adornit image with my Tombow dual brush markers.

This Adornit Art Play Paintable image is from the "If the Shoe Fits" collection, designed by Michele Hamilton.  I'm also using new Adornit scrapbook papers designed by Laura Kelly.  They will be available soon online but are already making their way to local scrapbook stores now.

I thought the Batty image would be fun to color for my purple theme, plus, what child wouldn't love to receive this adorable card?  Becca is donating cards to her local women's shelter and is accepting anyone's cards that are linked up to the challenge, if they wish to contribute.

Link up your newly created "Purple" card, here.

You can check out all the Art Play Paintables available at Adornit, here.

Enjoy the Moments with TPD Stamps plus The Hop to Stop

Today's project is two-fold; I'm featuring the new Everyday Sentiments 4 stamp set from Two Paper Divas, and I'm also going purple for a very special cause - The Hop to Stop Domestic Violence.

First, let me share a few key details about this mixed media project.  I've done some texture stenciling on designer paper, using Inka Gold and also watercolored purple distress ink onto my watercolor paper, cut with stitched dies and stenciled Bo Bunny Pearlescent onto my watercolored border.

I also inked up some white tulle with my purple distress ink, then burned it with my heat embossing tool to create a little messy, fun accent to my floral focus.

My sentiment was heat embossed and popped up on foam squares.  I thought this was an appropriate sentiment for the Hop to Stop event.  Life is precious and we need to take the time to enjoy every single moment of it.  My life was touched by domestic violence as a child and I shared my story last year at the Hop to Stop.  Thankfully, my mother saw to it that her three children would no longer be exposed to violence and started a new life for us.  I'm thankful that those early life experiences didn't define me but rather helped me to become a strong and independent woman.  My husband says I wear the pants in the family and I hate to admit it, but I kind of do.  Haha, I'm not alone am I, ladies?
