Hi all!

Welcome to the 2nd Annual Suicide Prevention Card Hop. During Suicide Prevention Week, we aim to spread messages of hope and support. We encourage friends, co-workers, and loved ones to use the resources shared this week to help those in need. If you're struggling, please contact #988 for 24/7 support via call or text.  Together, we can help #StopSuicide.  Active listening is an important and powerful step in having an honest conversation about mental health. Everyone deserves to feel heard and supported! #realconvo .  If you think someone is struggling, trust your gut. Ask directly and listen.

Today's theme is to have patience with yourself.  I chose to use the Altenew Craft your Life Blossoms of Encouragement set.

This set is very pretty...very elegant...very demure....and the sentiments are perfect for reaching out to someone in need of support.  The image was stamped and stenciled using Altenew's Botanical Brilliance Fresh Dye Ink set.  Using all the pieces from the CYL kit and the inks made this come together very quickly!

A special “Thank you” to our special guests! Today, Kerryn Murnain @kanddmurnain and Ceal Pritchett @cealp are joining us to share their voices and creativity to support our mission.

Please visit the other designers on our Instagram Hop to see more messages of encouragement!
