Some Metal and a Fairy

Hi Sweet Pea Nation,

For my card today, I decided to gather some metal washers and incorporate these into my card. Since it's been ages since I've used my copics, I was a little worried about coloring but Teresa Sherman's Steampunk Fairy is such an easy image to color because Teresa did all the hard parts..... the shading.
I used regular metal washers and colored these with my Bic Gold Poster Paint marker. I also took some wire and coiled it for her arm jewelry.

I used some Glossy Accent to fill the earing jewelry and glue down the "arm band". The sentiment is from Plate #98 which I cut apart and edged with Distress Ink.
Super fun and considering my lack of mojo, this Steampunk Fairy has put me on the right track to find that ever elusive craft mojo :-).
Thanks for stopping by and seriously, grab your coloring medium of choice, head over to Sweet Pea Stamps for some beautiful stamps and have fun! I promise you, you'll be glad you did!
