Hi Everybody,
Some of the products I have used have been provided to me from various companies I design for. Affiliate links may be used in the links provided below.
I usually stay out of politics on my blog, but this is not the time to remain quiet. If you don't like my post and cannot stomach it or you disagree, please feel free to unfollow.
As some of you probably know I deeply support justice, equity and diversity. The current events I feel are necessary and long overdue. We can not discriminate on the basis of skin color or anything else! After all diversity is what makes us unique and special and wouldn't it be boring, if we all would be the same?
Out of my beliefs I created this card.
Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps has this amazing
American Flag in the store. I first inked it up in grey and then again in blue and red, according to the flag colors. But this way it stays subdued. I added this wonderful stencil to the bottom of the flag. It is from iStencil and you can find it
HERE.
I did not think this cards needs a sentiment - it speaks for itself.
In case you want to learn more about the origins of racism I can strongly recommend you read "
Stamped from the Beginning" by Ibram X. Kendi. If you want to educate yourself about the justice system in America a good read is "
Just Mercy" by Bryan Stevenson. I that is too heavy, a captivating novel about racial inequality is "
Small Great Things" by Jodi Picoult., to just mention a few great reads.
Here are the 20% off stamp sale categories:
The card technique is MASK.
You can get $5.00 store credit once a week. Each month we will have several categories on sale for 20% OFF and a technique for that month. All you have to do is make a card with at least one stamp from the sales category and use the technique (in June its "stencil") and
Vicky will put $5.00 on your store account and leave you a comment that it is done. We can't wait to see your creative work!
