Sugar Is Sweet ~ ScrapbookPal

Hello friends!  Today's project is super sweet in every way, using products from Honeybee Stamps, that I found at ScrapbookPal.

Let me introduce you to Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers: Fall Treats. If you have a sweet tooth, this set is for you!  This die set is filled with iconic candy shapes like Swedish Fish, Gummy Bears, Candy Corn, wrapped candies, jelly beans and more!   

I started by cutting out several of the candy dies in soft, pastel colors that coordinated well together.  Some of the candies have two layers, so once I glued them together using Bearly Art Precision Liquid Glue, I went around the edge of each candy with coordinating Distress Oxide Ink using a blending sponge.

  The dies have etched details, which give them a realistic look.  I also added some accents using a white gel pen.

Once the candies were done, I moved on to the card front.  I created a frame using the Honey Bee Stamps Fancy Fall Layering Frames by inlaying the large oval frame inside the large rectangle frame die.  I cut the frame out of warm yellow cardstock.  These dies have beautifully embossed details!  

  

To enhance the details, I used a Ranger Ink Distress Brayer and rolled Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Ink over the top of the embossed frame.  This really made the details in the frame stand out.

I then started gluing the candies over the top of the frame in a random pattern, keeping a balance of colors around the frame.  I stamped the sentiments from Honey Bee Stamps Mini Messages: Sweets and adhered them using Scrapbook Adhesives Foam Squares to add dimension to the card. 

This card sure made my mouth water!  It came out super sweet!
