My sister can beat up your sister

My little sister just earned her black belt in Karate!!! She's always been tough and this latest achievement is just another proof of how hard-working and committed she can be. I'm so proud of her, especially since I've started taking TaeKwanDo. My struggles to learn the basic moves have given me even greater appreciation for her abilities. Anyhow, I made this card to congratulate my sister.

I chose this sweet digital image from Mo's Digital Pencil which I coloured with Copic markers. Colouring the white Gi was a challenge for me but I'm pretty happy with the result. I added a bit of brown distress ink around all of the card elements as well, especially around the background paper so that it would seem to merge into the kraft cardstock background.

The papers are Basic Grey and I used a sketch from this week's Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge. As you'll see, I kept very true to the original sketch because it really just suited what I wanted to do so well.

Challenges:

• 2 Sisters - use a digi
• Digital Pencil 2 Challenge - distressing
• Clear it out! - colouring mediums
• Crafty Ho's - inspiration picture (I was inspired by the idea of an athlete achieving a win)

UPDATE: I won the challenge over at Crafty Ho's! Yay me!
