Staying strong with Visible Image

Good morning, a fortnight has rolled round and it is time for my regular design team post for Visible Image.

You may remember that some time ago I made some stenciled backgrounds using the 

Breaking glass stencil This was shared on social media when it was released back in February. 

I just used white pigment ink on black card to achieve this;

The background then sat in my WIP box for a while until inspiration struck! I decided that it would make the perfect background for the design I had in mind and I dug it out this week. This is what I got up to. First I stamped and white embossed a sentiment from

So much stronger

and the moon from the 

Night owl

I added some glitter glass around the edges to resemble smashed glass.

I stamped the owl in black Versafine onto a scrap of watercolour card and then added a little colour using Zig watercolour pens. I fussy cut him out and stuck him in place, using foam fixers under his wings for dimension.

Here is my finished card.

with some close ups, trying to show the real sparkle from the glass glitter.

and one last shot.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges;
