My friend Mary Anne gave me this fun large candy corn die and I decided Halloween was the perfect occasion to use it to make a card. (thanks M.A.) I googled candy corn to determine where the traditional colors of yellow, orange and white are on this candy. I was surprised to see they now have many flavors, including blueberry and grape soda, so since purple is my favorite color, I went with a grape soda candy corn. I used Cocoa Mouse from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps, and fussy cut him to put behind the giant piece of candy. I stamped the background with a very old candy corn stamp and colored the candy with Gorgeous grape and black. The SU! sentiment panel is a die-cut from Lil Inkers and the enamel dots are from GMD.
I'll enter this into the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge - anything goes
Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge #356 - anything goes
LTCCB #37 - August anything goes
Little Red Wagon challenge #512 - foodie (any kind of food)
I hope your weekend is off to a pleasant start - and I'm hoping for a change in direction of the storm bearing down on Florida. Stay safe everyone.

Awe! Now how stinkin' CUTE is this guy!! I just love Cocoa in the purple colors here! That shaker die is just the cutest!! What a really cute and fun card design Carol! Happy weekend! :)
Wow, Carol, that big candy and your own patterned paper match just PERFECTLY!!! :D You always have a fabulous eye for matching all the things in your card! The big diecut looks so fun, as well that cute mouse that seems just to eat it! :D Love the oblique banner and the grape colour!
Hugs
LOL, I absolutely love how terrified Cocoa looks rather than being the one to scare those of us who don't do mice. You know we don't have corn candy in the UK, well certainly not anywhere near me... I see it on so many cards during Halloween and I like your different colour scheme with the great positioning of Cocoa x
What a cute and fun card and perfect with that little mouse peeking out from behind the huge candy corn. I love the purple colors too.
A super card Carol, I love the colours you have chosen - it's good to see something different from the traditional orange, your little mouse looks so cute peeping out.

Wowzer! You did grape! How fun is that one, and you added Cocoa Mouse, too!
Super cute card , Lis
I feel like anything other than the "original" candy corn just isn't really candy corn. But, I digress--This is a really fun color combo and I LOVE that candy corn die; soooo fun!! And of course, the little Cocoa is adorable! Thanks for playing with The House That Stamps Built.
What a fun card - I had no idea there were various flavors of candy corn, either! Thanks for sharing with us at Love To Craft
I LOVE the colours you used the cute mouse and corn and adorable. Love it Carol.

Love, love, love! This card is so you, Carol! As soon as I seen the purple...I knew it was your card! Isn't it funny that candy corn is made in different colors and flavors anymore?! To me, it is still yukky but it sure does have some cool color combinations! Love how you added Cocoa to the big candy corn die! Super fun and well done, my friend! Love it! TFS and enjoy this beautiful weather! :)
That's a big piece of candy corn - and no matter what color, I could eat the whole thing! LOVE that stuff. Also love your cute and fun card. Of course little Cocoa tops it off.

Cute card! And we not only get another great card from you. We get some history to with it. They say you learn something new everyday!
Yes, our anniversary dinner was very nice. Our first try at the restuarant we went to and it (hopefully) won't be our last...(depends on budget...smile)
Such a great card! LOVE the purple candy corn. Had no idea it came in all those flavors.
Love the purple candy corn and I've never seen this before. This card is so cute and I love the added mouse.
Great card! I'm loving all the purple. Thanks for joining us at Little Red Wagon.
