This week's Inspiration Challenge comes from the fabulous world of Collectible Barbie Dolls. Barbies were one of my favorite toys when I was a young girl, so to revisit them and create a card inspired by one.
I chose the Wizard of Oz Scarecrow Ken Doll to inspire my design. I stamped the Artistic Outpost Tin Many in Charcoal ink on Memory Box DP. I stamped it a second time on a scrap of Pink Tim Holtz paper to cut out the heart. I used this week's Sketch 65 from Limelight Papercrafts and for my chipboard add-on challenge, I added a Grungeboard heart that I inked with several shades of pink.

Thanks Stef for this challenge...
The Wizard of Oz is one of my all time favorite movies, my Mom (bless her soul) used to really give me a hard time, as I would always watch it each year that it would come on... I never missed it for about 25 years.... Needless to say I was thrilled to see that you had made a card of the "Tin Man".... I love it, thanks so much for sharing.....
