All of the candy corns were cut out individually and raised with foam tape. Yep there are a lot of them and I won't be doing that again! Thanks to Wendalyn here on SCS as she told me how to make it easier to raise all those buggers with foam tape. They were colored with copic markers. I also cut out a few more for the falling ones. Extra pumpkins were cut and raised also. Crystal lacquer was added to all the corn and the pumpkins. Stamped the little witch from Viva Las Vegas Stamps on the moon. DD also on the moon. The sky was sponged with Going Grey. The bow was done by tying two bows together and then just clipping them. Colored the tree with a brown sakura stardust pen. The shimmer orange bg paper was run through the cuttlebug and the main image is raised.
TFL!!

My eyes are all blurry just thinking about cutting these little candy corns out...one by one! Then popping them all up. WOW! But, it was well worth all your wonderful effort because they look so pretty on your tree! I have never heard of a candy corn tree, but then who knows!!! LOL Love your cb background and your pumpkins and all the shiny stuff you put on everything! Oh yeah, love your ribbon bow thing! You did good! TFS :0)
