Hi Everyone,
I made time this weekend to tidy up my space and it was well worth it. I stumbled across the Candy Time!!! stamp by Penny Black. I have had this stamp for quite a while but I have never used it. I wasn’t really sure how I was going to tackle this stamp so decided to stay pretty close to the colours on the decal. Made it much easier to colour it the first time.
Candy Time!!
Materials used: Stamp – Candy Time!! 1679K (Penny Black); Cardstock – American Crafts, Knight; Designer Paper – Soleil 6×6 Paper Pad (Basic Grey); Distress Markers; Ribbon (Unknown) and Glossy Accents (Ranger).
I decided I wanted to try a different colour combination. It doesn’t have quite as much oomph as the original but I still like it. The colours also co-ordinate much better in real life!
Candy Time!! – Take 2
Materials used: Stamp – Candy Time!! 1679K (Penny Black); Cardstock – American Crafts, Bazzill Basics Paper, Knight; Designer Paper – Plumeria 6×6 Paper Pad (Basic Grey); Distress Markers; and Glossy Accents (Ranger).
On both cards, I popped up the two mice and also one of the lollies just to give it a little more dimension. I added glossy accents to the lolly on the bottom right but I am thinking of going back to add glossy accents to all the others. And voila two cards done. I haven’t added a sentiment. Wasn’t really sure what I wanted to use the cards for at this stage. Can always leave it blank, or add it later.
Update: I decided to go back and add glossy accents to all of the lollies – finishes the cards off perfectly!
Hope you are all having a wonderful day no matter where you are in the world!
Happy Stamping!

So darn adorable! I like both color combinations!
Thanks so much, LaVon! It is such a great image to colour. Thanks for stopping by today too and leaving a comment. I really appreciate it! 🙂
Kylie, these wee mice sneaking away with the candies are just toooo sweet! Both cards are fabulous, so it’s impossible to decide which I like best. The colouring on both is, as always, stupendously awesome, and your background papers pair perfectly! Darling+++ Have you seen the challenge at Freshly Made Sketches? I think your cards would be a wonderful fit!! Check it out…and I hope you go for it!! I’m wrapping up a couple cards for the PS challenge, and hopefully will have a chance to make a start on a couple more! Hope your day is fabulous! Oh yes, if you have Christmas stamps (d-uhh, of course you do!!) check out the Merry Monday challenges at alwaysplayingwith paper, as well as Festive Friday. Your colouring skills would turn heads there for sure!!
