Purple Day for Epilepsy Awareness (Blog Hop)

Hello, everyone! Today I'm joining my friend Fikreta in a blog hop for Purple Day in support of epilepsy awareness. Each participant in the hop has made a card featuring purple.  I hope you'll hop around and see what everyone has made!

                                           

Our blog hop runs from March 26 to 31, and there are giveaways to be won! Thank you to our generous sponsors, Digi Doodle Studios and Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez, who are each giving away one digital image of the winner's choice.  In addition, Ike from Ike's Art and Annabel from Knitty Kitty Digis both have giveaways as part of their stops along the hop, including one from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps!  To be entered to win, please comment on each stop of the hop and tell us what you learned about epilsepsy.  I would be so happy if you became a follower but it is not necessary to win a prize.

Here's the card I made for Purple Day:

The adorable image is Digi Doodles Studios - Gracie & Nibbles. I coloured it with markers and fussy-cut so I could pop it up on foam tape. The background paper is from Fred She Said, and I stamped a sentiment from Newton's Nook.  I added a die-cut shape and some lace behind the image and then finished the card with two punched butterflies and some purple gems.  

My card design was inspired by Sketch 3 at Crafting Vicky:

Please take a moment and read:

Purple Day

Purple Day is a global grassroots event formed with the intention to increase worldwide awareness of epilepsy, and to dispel common myths and fears of this neurological disorder.  Further intentions of this movement are to reduce the social stigmas commonly endured by many individuals afflicted with the condition; to provide assurance and advocacy to those living with epilepsy that they are not alone in their ongoing endurance; and to initiate individuals living with the condition to take action in their communities to achieve these aims.  The day occurs annually on March 26. You can read more about epilepsy here.
