Are you playing at PPA? I hope so. This week we have an Inspiration Challenge and I can’t imagine that this photo wouldn’t inspire everyone!

Here’s the photo.

 

  

 

Here’s what I did.

 

•Candy, anyone?  I created my base from Close to Cocoa cardstock (Mmmm! Mmmm! Good!) at 5-1/4” x 4”. I added a layer of Real Red -- ¼” smaller all around -- to the base.

 

•I punched out six scalloped squares from Whisper White using my Scallop Square Punch and adhered them in two rows onto my card to simulate a candy box.

 

•Next I looked through my Designer Series Papers and decided to punch out half- and three-quarter-inch circles using my 1” Circle Punch from Chocolate Chip Patterns Designer Series Paper, Kaleidoscope DSP, and The Write Stuff Specialty DSP to make my “candy.” I centered each piece onto a square.

 

•I added a ¼”-inch Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon along the bottom of the card and tied a separate bow which I placed on the ribbon using a Mini Glue Dot.

 

•I stamped my “Sweet Treats” sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set in Real Red onto Whisper White and punched it out using my Modern Label Punch. I punched out a second tag in Close to Cocoa, cut it in half and placed it behind my sentiment to pop it. And, then, I used a Pop-Up Glue Dot to adhere it to my card.

 

Hope you’re inspired and if you are, please play along with us at PPA. The directions on how to link your card are available on the site.
