i love a random national day and i love candy corn, so of course, i had to make a card for national candy corn day today. i even had the perfect die for the job! with about an hour to spare, this is what i came up with...
i die cut candy corn collage four times, twice in black and twice in white. i popped out only the negative spaces on both black and one white, adhering them together with spray adhesive. then i colored in the orange and yellow spaces on the white one, not overly concerned with bleeding over a bit. the final white with all pieces popped out becomes the top layer and perfect frame. i love the white on white with just a hint of black on the sides.
i thought about making this a simple happy halloween or trick or treat card, but it just wasn't doing it for me, lol. finally, i landed on a punny sentiment by selectively inking "you're my kind of" from everyday affection, replacing the word "weird" with "corny" using pencilgrams (still hanging in online - at $3.50 it's a steal!) for the phrase you're my kind of corny - perfect! i tied on a bow of baker's twine in black and white to balance the other touches of black and voila! clean and graphic, quick and easy - holiday (and candy corn) celebrated...
#sweet!
