Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge 12!

Back in the day....I really loved my Heavy Metal....you know, the cute guys with the long hair and tight pants?? I know you do!! Some of the music was alright too!! hehe!! But this week, for our Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge....Tara wants us to use Heavy Metal on our cards!!! Pull out those charms, those brads, eyelets, grommets, metallic paper, do the faux metal technique...whatever you like! Use a little or a lot! And if you join us for the challenge, you could be the random winner of a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp!!!



For my card I wanted to use the GORGEOUS new Bird Fairy image by the terrifically talented Crissy Armstrong!! I think I say this every month....but I think these are her best images YET!! I stamped the Bird Fairy on Neenah cardstock using Memento Ink and coloured her in using the following Copic markers: E00, R000, N0, E50, G20, YG03, RV32 and RV34.

I used SU cardstock and the glittery patterned paper is by Imaginisce. I pulled out this sweet pink ribbon and ran a strip along the bottom and then made a pretty bow for the corner. I added some white pearls, added some sparkle to her lovely wings using my Stardust gel pen and stamped the sentiment (which comes with this image) on blue and pop dotted it. The finishing touch was the fantastic fairy ornament hanging from the bow! And that's the Heavy Metal part of my card!



Be sure to hop on over to the Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge Blog and check out the gorgeous designs from our wonderful Krafty Girls!! Then join in the challenge and you could win the new image, Dance Recital, as featured on Tara's gorgeous card!!! Then don't forget!!!
