My first project today uses the awesome new Candy Jars Die-namics and coordinating Candy Jar Companions stamp set I just couldn't get enough of -- you can get SO many different looks with these sets! (All bold products are linked below in the supply section):
This fun tall candy jar was die cut from Smooth White cardstock and stamped with the Candy Jar Companions candy sticks in Cotton Candy, Gumdrop Green, Lemon Drop and Red Hot Premium Dye inks.
The jar was die cut again from silver metallic cardstock and Vellum, then pieced together with the vellum over the stamped candy. The cute candy label was also die cut from silver metallic cardstock and white heat embossed. The tab from Blueprints 22 is a perfect mat layer for the candy jar lid!
The pretty sentiment was silver heat embossed onto a Cotton Candy circle (from Blueprints 22). The fun holey panel from Blueprints 22 was cut from the beautiful new Pure Plum cardstock. The Ripe Raspberry card base was stamped with the Houndstooth Background in Ripe Raspberry Premium Dye ink.
My next card uses this month's new Pure Innocence Big Bear Hugs, along with this week's MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge and current Color Challenge 14:
The girl was stamped with Black Licorice Hybrid ink onto Copic X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copic markers (colors listed below in supply section). The background panel is watercolor paper stamped with the Polka Dot Background, stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with clear powder. Then I used Blueberry Premium Dye Ink Refill to watercolor wash the background. The watercolored paper was then die cut with the pierced rectangle from Blueprints 21.
The sentiment was stamped in Blueberry Premium Dye ink onto Smooth White cardstock and hand cut into a banner shape. The Blueberry half circle (also from Blueprints 21) was randomly inked with Versamark through the Harlequin Stencil.

Hi Sharon! I just love how you used just the tiniest touch of green! It really makes it stand out! And the twine on the candy jar is perfection. :)
