Challenge 217-Candy Bar Inspiration!

Hello Crafty People!

This week's challenge is a sweet one indeed.  We challenge you to create a project with a favorite candy bar in mind.  You can use the candy as color inspiration, or actually use the candy or its wrapper on your project-we're not picky!  Just show us your creativity!

For my card, I used the colors of a Mr. Goodbar.  It's not necessarily my favorite candy bar, but from the moment I heard of this challenge, it's the one that kept popping into my head, and I DO like the colors, so, why not?!

Stamps:  Oh Hello

Ink:  Real Red, Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight

Cardstock:  Whisper White, Early Espresso, Real Red

Accessories:  Real Red and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Write Markers, Apothecary Accents Framelits, Ovals Collection Framelits, Daffodil Delight 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, Real Red 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals, Basic Jewels Pearls, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig

Tips:  To get just the look I wanted, and the repeating pattern I desired, I used my Stampin' Write Markers to ink up my stamp and the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig for perfect placement
