Today I'm sharing a card I made with the adorable Hedgehog with Pumpkin from Gerda Steiner Designs. This is the October progressive challenge image, and I coloured it with Prismacolor pencils and fussy-cut so I could pop it up with foam tape. I also added Clear Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents over the pumpkin. It has a sparkly and glossy appearance but it does not come through on the photo.
I went with a purple colour scheme so I can support The Hop to Stop, a blog hop designed to raise awareness about domestic violence. One in three women will experience domestic violence over the course of their lifetimes. Just think about it... that's 33% of all the women you meet. Purple is the domestic violence awareness colour. I explained my connection to this issue in the previous blog post.
For my card, I used some snippets/scraps of Doodlebug patterned paper along the left edge. The hedgie is sitting on a strip of musical washi tape. The sentiment from Clearly Besotted - A Little Sentimental clear stamps is stamped vertically. I added a few purple sequins to finish it off.
Please become informed about domestic violence, its impacts, and available resources. You can visit the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence for more information. Canadians can find out more here. I hope to see you at The Hop to Stop to support this important issue.
Thank you for looking at my card! Wishing you a joyful day!

What a lovely way to highlight domestic violence and support the cause. The hedgehog is adorable! Thanks for playing along with us this week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Autumn is in the Air Challenge!
A lovely creation Kitty, and yes domestic violence is a real issue and should not be tolerated in any shape or form for women or for men who tend to be so much quieter on the issue. Thank you for joining us this fortnight at OSAAT and we hope to see lots more of you super artwork :)
Such a cute card. Thank you for joining us at Card Mania Challenge. Good luck.
