Kenny K at the Totally Papercrafts Challenge

Kenny K are sponsoring the Totally Papercrafts challenge this week, and we were lucky enough to get some images to play with.  I confess to having quite a few of these images sitting neglected in my digi folder, but I had to have Airborne as it is so like my nephew!!
 I coloured him in using my pens.  I went to town a bit on the embossing, using coredinations cardstock so I could get a grungey look ti it.  I also painted some metal foil with cranberry acrylic paint, and embossed and sanded it when it was dry.  The tags are metallic ones, simply treated with some alchol inks, embossed and sanded.
