Papercrafters Unite Against Racism - IG Hop!

 

Hi friends!

I have the privilege of being one of the 50 participants

for an Instagram hop.

This is my 4th hop and it's an honor to be asked to create a card <3

The hop is designed to raise awareness and bring others 

into the anti-racism conversation ~

 I’m proud to be one of the participants standing in solidarity.

I've used Lawn Fawn's Color My World to create this 

box of crayons, showcasing the black crayon in the box.

The sentiment is from Life is Good but it was such a wonderful match!

My card is for a special boy, Omari, the son of my best friend

and his story touched my heart deeply.

To read Omari's story, head over to my Instagram

as well as lend support to the blog hop that helps us #showup

and be part of the conversations to heal and uplift and inspire!

Thanks for stopping by and let's continued to stand united!

Papercrafters ~ Unite!

 

Hi friends! 

Today I'm part of an Instagram hop ~

click on the link and it will take you there

and I thought I'd share my card here on my blog, too!

 

The goal of the hop is to continue to raise awareness about anti-racism; to stand with our BIPOC friends and family, and to keep encouraging everyone to start the necessary conversations.

  We are all one humanity and should find a way to #showup for equity and equality in a way that makes sense for YOU.  

In the smallest of ways, including creating a card and adding a hashtag can help to promote unity among papercrafters!

For my card, I wanted to do something a little different.

Rather than be 'stuck in one box' and being traditional,

I'm sharing a card with flamingos that are NOT pink.

Rather, they are the skin tones that show from black to white

to all the colors in between, we STAND together.

I've used a variety of distress oxide inks for the background

and used my scrapbook.com domed blender foams to blend them.

When I tell you I'm obsessed with these ... I am!

Next up, I've used Lawn Fawn's Flamingo Together and Life is Good 

to create the beach sunset scene.

I chose this as my background to represent where I live - Miami, Florida.

We live in a melting pot of cultural diversity with many colors,

languages and cultures!

I speak both Spanish and English daily!

Thanks for stopping by 

and remember - love one another!

I'll link my card to:  Dragonfly Dreams - feature a creature

Paper Crafters - Unite!

 

Hi friends!

Today I have the privilege of contributing in an Instagram hop for

 #papercraftersuniteagainstracism,

a hop designed to promote unity in the crafting community!

The world can be so wonderful and beautiful if we loved more,

embraced differences and extended a hand in love and acceptance.

Embracing diversity is one of the first steps to healing 

and unifying as papercrafters today with our cards is just one step!

Truly,

the world is a rainbow of beautiful people ♡

My card is intentionally black and white

with a rainbow of (skin) colors in between :)

I used the MFT stamp set "Sweet Besties"

and a rainbow die with little snipets of papers from my pile.

I needed some hearts so I used one from a Lawn Fawn set 

and this card has a lot of dimension!

         You can find all the details of the hop here on my Instagram

as it's filled with inspiration and hope and beautiful creations!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
