Today's challenge was to create a Bi-Polar project, showing 2 things that are opposites. I chose to do a card which will go in my art journal depicting a woman who to the outside world is submissive, a people pleasing doormat, but on the inside is raging, wanting to kill everyone and anything who treats her as such, even herself. Smeared Ink's Femdom digi image called "Spreader Bar" portrays the submissive woman perfectly, and the larger image inside of the gun-totin' mama is from the rubber stamp sheet "Chicks Dig Guns". The coloring of images is a combo of Derwent Inktense Pencils (I love 'em), colored pencils and Tombow markers. I also used the bullet holes from the "Chicks Dig Guns", as well as a grave stamp from Gazdina's Stamps (no longer in business). The embellishments were from my stash & they were all put on a gate folded card.

Hope I haven't offended anyone.
