Hop to Stop - cards for Domestic Violence Month

Today I'm sharing a few cards I made in response to a blog post by Becca Cruger
at Hop to Stop about Domestic Violence.

I was alerted to this very worthy cause by Lizzy Hill and also Margaret Mifsud, 
both of whom have made cards.  

I started off with some water colour paper and just played
with stencils, paint, inks without being too invested in the outcome.

Great to use some older stash and some pretty ribbon from my friend Chris.
Purple, is the colour of Domestic Violence Awareness month.
There is a blog hop and a chance to make cards to donate to Becca's local shelter.
They can use thank you, birthday, encouragement and all occasion cards,
with the centres left blank to make them more versatile.



Thanks for calling in to say hello; I love it when you leave a comment 
and appreciate you taking the time to do that.

    Gorgeous cards Helen!! All the backgrounds and colours are stunning and I love the stitching around the edges. Great sentiments and stamps too. So glad you could join in as well for such a great cause! Hope you're having a great weekend even though the weather's turned sour on us again. Don't think we're going to get much of Spring this year. hugs xx
