Stay strong

Happy Wednesday!
 
It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and this time the theme is "Anything goes" with the optional twist "For the Ladies".

I used a Squats image and coloured it with alcohol markers. Then I die cut it (down part - the upper part I fussy cut) and added a little bigger die cut circle under it.

The background paper is from Punk Lolly paper pack and I added a little Distress inks and black Sharpie on its edges before taping it to the card base. The letters are die cut and I heat embossed the "strong" letters with glittery black embossing powder.
 
I was quite lost at some point with this card, but I think it turned out great. There's a bit of masculinity and femininity and even though it looks quite simple I used multiple techniques on it.



Here you can see the glittery embossing powder little better.
