My Favorite Snack

****If you're here for Kitchen Sink Monday, please scroll down to the next post.****

I know that I’ve said before that I’m not a big chocolate fan, so when it comes to snacking, I tend to turn to the salty stuff. One of my favorite snacks is popcorn, so I think that might explain why I like the Bucket-o-Popcorn set from Clear & Simple Stamps so much.

I based this fun card on Karen’s Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge. I first saw her sketch challenge on the Stampin’ Out Alzheimer’s site and decided to check out this week’s sketch. I made the bucket of popcorn my focal image. The bag is colored with Copic markers. I stamped the popcorn top a second time on a scrap of paper, added some yellow shading, then trimmed around it and attached it to the colored bag image with dimensionals.

Keeping with the color scheme I used in the popcorn bag, I used some 1” red, black, and white patterned paper squares for the pieces behind the image panel. I arranged and rearranged them a few times before coming up with a configuration I liked. The image is set on top of the grid using dimensionals. I added some paper piercing along the bottom, leading up to the sentiment. A simple red brad next to it adds just a pop of color.
