Lollipop, Lollipop, Oh....Lolli, Lollipop! I had that in my head the entire time I was making this card. I had fun creating this one, with lots of color and embellishments. I used the three lollipops from "Cuppyland". I colored them with Copics and added lots of embellishments; teeny crystals and the white is Liquid Applique. I added Spica to all of them for Sparkle effects! Then I coated each with Crystal Lacquer for Shine! I made three little triple loop bows from this great thin Jute from Sharon's Ribbon Store to accent each lollipop. I made the mini bows using the Bow-Easy, if you haven't heard about this little tool, you can read all the details a few posts down on the Bow Info! -Bow Blog Candy! post, and yes the Bow-Easy Blog Candy is still open until Sunday evening... so head to that post for details on how to get your hands on the Bow Tool! The little frame the lollipops are mounted on was created by cutting out the largest of Spellbinder's Deckled Rectangles, and tracing the outline of a smaller one inside that with a Black Micron Pen.... then I went to town with my Copics coloring and adding doodles. I pulled the colors I used from the DP in the background, Basic Grey's new Lime Rickey Collection. I added some Cuttlebug action on the Kraft paper, and a little Martha Teeny Hearts Border Punch. There is a lot going on here!
