Late Night Stampers Challenge #43

It is time for another week of Late Night Stampers Yahoo Group Challenges!! This week our Challenge #43 is Candy Everywhere!!

With Halloween right around the corner, and all the stores carrying my favorite candy, my mind seems to be stuck in a permanent sugar high. This week design a card using only the colors found in your favorite candy wrapper. Examples of color combinations would be: Snickers- Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Night of Navy and Real Red. Reese's: Only Orange, Summer Sun, Chocolate chip. or Twix- Gold, Real Red, Whisper White, and Basic Black. With millions of types of candy available the color choices are endless! Don't forget to use 100% current Stampin' Up! on all projects, we can't wait to see what you come up with!!

So with this Yummy Challenge I pulled out my all time favorite candy, 100 Grand!! Love that candy bar and the only time I get to eat them is at Halloween!!

My candy bar wrapper screamed Real Red, Summer Sun and Chocolate Chip. I started with a Chocolate Chip Card base then layered a piece or Real Red Cardstock and then a Summer Sun piece of Cardstock after I ran it through my Big Shot using the Texture Plates Kit #4. I also distressed the edges of my Summer Sun Cardstock using the Distressing Took from the Cutter Kit. I also used the Real Red 1" Double-Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon and the very cute Gobble, Gobble single stamp that is in the Holiday Mini.

Do you see that my Turkey is colored with the three colors in my card? You are probably wondering how I did that aren't you?? Well I used our Sponge Daubers and started with the Chocolate Chip Classic Ink. I sponged this color onto the body of the Turkey, then going to the Real Red I sponged that color on the base of the feathers and finished off the outer feathers with Summer Sun. After huffing on the stamp I stamped him onto Whisper White Cardstock. He turned out too stinkin' cool!!!

I hope you all LOVE candy and have an all time favorite that you can draw some inspiration from!! I would love to see what you all come up with for this YUMMY Challenge!! Make sure to visit our Yahoo home page found HERE to join in on the fun this week!!

Have a great day!!
