Hello there my stamping friends. Today I am sharing a YouTube hop I am participating in with some other crafty YouTubers to bring awareness to eating disorders.
We are hoping that by talking about it and showing our support it can break down some barriers and make it easier to talk about eating disorders. And when things are easier to talk about it helps people find the path to recovery a little easier too.
We all chose to create projects using purple, another way to show our support of those facing or who have faced an eating disorder.
Our hope is that you will watch and share the videos in this hop so that you too can help open up the dialog about eating disorders and we can all be a small part of bringing awareness. If you want to find out more about how someone can get help for an eating disorder read to the bottom of this post. There you will also find the details on the GIVEAWAYS for this hop.
Now I would like to share the card I created for this hop. Watch it being made in this video:

The next stop on this hop is Lauren Taylor, even though my video says Ashley (oops). Lauren is my friend and makes great cards, I know you are going to love her creation for this hop, check it out right here. And you will get to see Ashley's creation too if you continue on the hop.
Now let's take a closer look at my Mermaid Magic Iris Snowglobe card.
When planning to make a card with purple I decided that would be the perfect color to use with a mermaid. Then I saw a Lawn Fawn video by Mindy Egan where she made a snow globe card with a unicorn. That gave me the idea to use the snow globe for my mermaid card!
Here you can see the snow globe closed. I imagine it is a lost treasure fallen to the bottom of the sea.
I am in love with the glitter paper accenting this snow globe, it is a scrap left over from a piece a friend gifted me. I wish I could link it for you. It is a dark gray with a purple under tone. It is perfect for this card.
The ink blending on this card was done with Dusty Concord and Broken China. I used this color combo on the background, the outside of the snow globe and on the moving parts of the Magic Iris.
Also on the background I used the Snowy Sky stencil and Glacier paste from Nuvo for the look of bubbles. I turned out super cool, but most of it was covered up by the snow globe.
I used several Lawn Fawn stamp sets for all the accents on this card, they are all listed and linked for you below. And make sure to watch the video to see how to put together a Magic Iris for a Snow Globe.

What are eating disorders and how do they develop?
Eating disorders are complex mental illnesses with physical manifestations. A number of factors can contribute to the development of an eating disorder, including genetics, mental health, and cultural factors. While eating disorders are serious and can have life-threatening complications, they are also treatable illnesses.
How do I know if I have an ED?
If the way you eat and think about food interferes with your life and keeps you from enjoying life and moving forward, you may be experiencing disordered eating. Take it seriously and talk to someone who can help, this may be your primary care provider, or one of the helplines above.
Thank you so much for stopping by and helping us open up a dialog about eating disorders.
