The Sweet Life...

These whimsical figures from the imagination of Megan K Suarez at Silly Dilly Beans Stamps are a lot of fun!  She has some "Frida" images that are to die for in my opinion!!

 I started with dominantly red papers from The Paper Studio and opted to use black as my second color.  I cut a layer from each of the three "reds", layered each on black and used the left over paper for the inside.  This figure is one of three wild creatures on a Collage sheet called "Sweet Life Digi Collage".  It also includes the sentiment, sucker & black and white checkered border used on the all red and a variety of candies that can be cut out and collaged together!  I added color to the candy with Copics and after cutting each element out, I sculpted the little boy(?) and the large sucker. Diamond Glaze was used on the sucker and his eyes to add shine & some dimension.  The sentiment was punched out with an SU punch & layered on black also.
