FireCracker Design Blog Hop!
Did you come here from Ursula's blog? If so great skip ahead to the next paragraph! if you didn't well then you really need to head back to the beginning and start there...no fun picking up in the middle you might miss something!
The Challenge for this hop was to take a stamp or stamp images from any FCD sets we had & create a different image/look with them. For instance: Use a paisley image or an Easter egg image to create a flower by using it for the petals. I must admit I was rather stumped on this one as I had recently just done this with another set (see it here.) After thinking and thinking and thinking I was ready to say COUNT ME OUT this round LOL! I decided to let it go and come back to it another time. Well I am glad I did cause I started thinking about suckers! I have no clue why but I started thinking about this sucker tree that was at the middle school when my daughter was there and how fun it was all bright and cheery. you know with the fun flavors like Blueberry Muffin, Rootbeer Float, Key Lime Pie... I know you are going what the heck does suckers have to do with stamping?!?!?! Well I made a sucker tree!
So what do you think? Does it look like a sucker tree? It does remind me of the one at the middle school and frankly I am wondering if they still have it cause I wouldn't mind a Strawberry Shortcake one right about now! LOL.
Here are the sets I used to make it:
Be Naughty - the tree.
Cken Up On You - the large bird foot - makes great sucker sticks doesn't it!
Mahalo - the sun/moon single stamp - great suckers! YUM!
I had it all done and thought it looked a little odd with no base so I admit I did use one Non FCD stamp and that was the A-Muse Oval just to ground it.
I stamped the sucker sticks and tops and then cut them out to arrange them on the tree which was stamped onto a rectangle base. I used the Bingo Blast Technique from the latest TJ newsletter for the background paper. Threading water punch for the scallop and dark purple base for the card. The brads in the corner were just some I had in my stash and I thought that they complimented the suckers well.

That's adorable!! Love the splat bg. I forget what it's called but Pat just had it as a TJ tech, and I'd seen it somewhere else too. Those suckers are just way too cute.
