When my oldest child was a little dude my mom had a small little candy dish in her living room that she kept well-stocked with jelly beans. As my son started to learn how to talk he would go straight to the candy dish every time we visited Grandma and ask for “binks”. We still call jellybeans “binks” at my house … and my son is 36 years old! Don’t you LOVE stuff like that???
This card is my tribute to Grandma’s Jar of Binks! It makes me so stinking happy!
I created the little “frame” panel by cutting a 4”x5.25” piece of Bubble Bath cardstock at an angle from the 4” side at the 1.5” mark to the opposite corner. I cut two of these for each side of the frame and overlapped them to created the overall “diamond” shape to frame the jar of jelly beans.
I stamped the jar itself with Black Stazon on some window sheet (you can’t tell from the photo, but it looks cool!). I colored the jellybeans themselves using my Stampin’ Write markers in a variety of colors - Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, Berry Burst and Basic Black.
Once again, I flicked some ink from my Stampin’ Blends in the background behind the jar of jellybeans.
