Happy Wednesday!!! I can't believe we are over halfway through March. But I'll take it, I'm ready for spring!! This time over at Double D we are playing with Gingham. How FUN! And such a cheery, refreshing theme. Here is our Mood Board for inspiration. Just look at all the bright, bold color here:
And here is my card:
This is a new set from Stampin' Up called Sweetest Thing, and it comes with companion dies. I think it's just so cute, it makes me smile. I stamped and die cut the jars and then stamped the "candy" inside. Then I colored them with markers. You can't see it really well, but there is a die cut doily underneath the jars. I tried to make it look like an old time candy store. I finished up by applying some iridescent sequins and filling them with Diamond Stickles.
Here are the Ingredients:
GKD White and Black Onyx Card
Recollections Petite Floral Paper
Pebbles Basics Gingham Paper
SU Doily Builder Thinlit
Spellbinders Scalloped Circle Dies
GKD Black Amalgam Ink
SU Sweetest Thing Stamps
SU Jar of Sweets Thinlits
