#PaperCraftersUniteAgainstRacism - Friendship Has No Color!

Hello everyone!

Today I am sharing this card as a part of the #papercraftersuniteagainstracism Instagram Hop!! My card is created using Dare2bArtzy Stencil in the background and the sentiment is from the stamp set called "We Stand With You", which was a collaboration of several companies from the Stamping Village. They believe in speaking up against racial, social and economic injustice.

I am honored to be a part of the #papercraftersuniteagainstracism. This is an important because racism will touch EVERYONE'S lives in some form or another. If everyone learns how to treat each other with respect, equally and understand "the hand of friendship has no color" the world would be a better place.

Please make sure to check out all the crafters in the hop on Instagram. They are all awesome! You can start @didlet.

Here is my card for your inspiration:

Here is how I created the card.

1. Card is an A2 card measuring 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.

2. Die cut the top panel using with a stitched rectangle from my stash.

3. Used the Dar2bArtzy "Hands Stencil" to ink blend the background with rainbow colors.

 4.  Stamped the sentiment from the "We Stand With You" stamp set in rainbow colors and die cut with a stitched rectangle die from my stash.

4.  Assembled the card and added some enamel dots to finish off the card.

Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope this cause will help someone to understand that we should all be treated equally!
