Welcome to theme week at As You See It Challenge. It's an interesting one this week... 'candy' or lollies or sweets if you're in New Zealand or Australia. Thanks to everyone who played along with our Rhapsody in Red Recipe Challenge. The entries were stunning and choosing a Featured Artist was tricky.
One bundle I have that's been really underused is Sweet Jar but it was perfect for this challenge. To pep things up a bit, I decided to create an arched card base using the Everyday Arches dies. I used the largest die and Melon Mambo card for the base, then a next size down in Pretty in Pink for the matte, then the next size down in Basic White for the stamped panel. Before layering them together, I used the small pattern stamp to add some tone-on-tone stamping to the Melon Mambo base.
On a separate piece of paper, I stamped the outline of the jar in Tuxedo Black. I stamped the jelly bean shapes in Pretty in Pink then added the patterning in Melon Mambo. I punched it out with the matching punch and punched out a separate lid in Basic Black.
The sentiment is in two parts, so I could add in the 'sweetness' in Melon Mambo. I used the small heart stamps in Pretty in Pink around the panel to create a background before adding the sweet jar, popped up on dimensionals.
So, what will you do with this sweet theme?
