Stamping for Autism Awareness Blog Hop

Good morning, Crafty Friends.

I'm delighted to be be posting today in honor of World Autism Awareness Day and for today's Stamping for Autism Awareness Blog Hop coordinated by world class stamper and lady, Veronica Zalis.


Autism has touched my life personally, however, I really feel like today is a day to celebrate our differences and teach acceptance. The things that make us different are perhaps the greatest and most beautiful things about us and if we can teach our children to think the same way the world can grow to be a much kinder place.

I made this card for which I thought was perfect for today's theme.


I started with a piece of watercolor paper which I washed with pink ink using a Zig Real Brush Water Color Marker. Once it was dried I sprayed my background with Mr. Huey's for a sparkly shine which is always hard for me to capture in a photo. I added some washi tape and black accents using Nuvo Drops. Once that was complete, I simply stamped this cute little super hero girl from our Super Kids Stamp Set and die cut it with the coordinating Die Set. I chose to leave her uncolored because I thought it fit the design well. Then, I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment and added is as you see above. My focal panel was layered over a neon pink mat and then adhered to a black card base.

Here's a look at the Lil' Inker Designs' goodies I used to create this card.

  12. I would like to say how much I appreciate that you are participating in this. My son is 12 and he has Aspergers syndrome. He also has aggressive ADHD and it was hard to get the autism diagnosis and therefore to get it treated. This is a wonderful way to raise awareness

  13. What a SWEET CARD! I too have a son with Aspergers & ADHD. He is 26 now. But, we had our struggles along the way, with other children & even the adults in the school system. God brought us through those rough times! We DO SO NEED for people to be compassionate, caring & accepting towards those that are different than themselves. So glad to be participating in this hop! ;)
