You are Magical...a Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge

Welcome to another fabulous Krafty Challenge! We've got a super easy theme for you this week... 
GLITTER!!!

Submit your glittery design for your chance to WIN! You have until Friday, April 6th to enter this challenge. Keep in mind, all entries are welcome but you must use a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp in order to win.

Each Saturday we post a new challenge and you can enter as many times as you like. And each submission during the month will enter you into the monthly prize of a $40 gift voucher to spend in the krafty shop! 

I made a glittery bookmark featuring the adorable Unicorns and Rainbows stamp set. I stamped one of the unicorns on hammermill paper and coloured her with copics. The background is a blend of oxide inks spritzed with a little water. I die cut a couple of clouds, added a sentiment from the set and used a combination of stardust stickles and wink of stella to add the glittery touches. At our recent krop at Kimmie's house, the amazing Alexis showed us how to make these fantastic tassels for tags and bookmarks. Following Alexis's example, I added a little charm to my tassel. 



We've also got a fun sketch for your inspiration for March. You don't have to use it but if you need a little extra kickstart in your mojo, feel free to use it any time.
