Popcorn Fun Indeed!
This is my final card for the Clear and Simple Stamps dt audition, and it's definitely my favorite out of everything I submitted! In fact, it was this set that really got me fired up about the Clear and Simple Stamps line and led me to their website. It's called "Bucket-o-Popcorn Fun" and it's absolutely YUMMY! You can see it for yourself right here. And for even more fun, there's a companion set to go with it, called "Popcorn Extras" (see it here. And actually, the "Pop on By" phrase comes from that set). I had such fun watercoloring all that popcorn... made me wanna head for the movie theater for the real thing! MY version looks like it was seasoned with kosher salt (or sea salt...whatever the big stuff is called), but instead of heading to the kitchen, I turned to my Rubbermaid tub of full of glitters and found a tube of very coarse, opaque white stuff that I believe came from the kids aisle at Michael's! Whatever works, right?! Here's an up-close shot of the "salt":
