This week we have a Food or Drink theme at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. I hope you will join us! Don't miss the last project by our January guest designer Monica aka My Bonnet Bee.

For my project, sweets fall under the category of food. I was inspired by the lollipops that come in the Simon Says Stamp card kit boxes. My youngest is very fond of the card kit boxes, since he always gets the lollipop. Since I didn't have any lollipop stamps, I made my own lollipops from circle stamps and rolled up paper. 

I wanted a bright and happy background and embossed the tag in Simon Says Stamp Twirling 3-D folder. This design has so much movement.

Color the circles with Distress Watercolor pencils. Don't worry about getting it perfect.

When dry, lightly ink with Distress Ink to darken the embossed areas.

Splatter the tag with Distress Watercolor Pencils.

Stamp circles from Simon Says Stamp Mix and Match Circles. I was going to use the pink circles first, but then changed my mind and embossed with clear ink and powder instead. A little pink ink had remained on the larger stamp. I liked the soft pink color.

Die cut the circles. Ink with Distress Ink and then emboss with two layers of clear embossing powder. Be very careful when using a heat tool and never touch the melted powder until it has cooled down completely.

I drew around the circles in the background with a black pen and added Tim Holtz Metallic Droplets.

The sticks were made with white paper, simply rolled up. Adhere the lollipops with two or three layers of Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Perfect Foam Tape. The embossing powder makes the lollipops shiny.

The sentiments are Tim Holtz Label Sentiment stickers and were matted on Simon Says Stamp Luxe Glitter Cardstock, for extra bling. I also added lace trim, a sheer ribbon and a bunch of fibers.

The tag has quite a bit of dimension and lots of joy.
