Sweet & Spooky Centers

The new Sweet Centers stamp set is so much fun! I made this treat center pop with pumpkin pie ink, old olive and perfect plum cardstock and a sweet treat cup filled with green jellybeans! But to get to the jellybeans you have to rip the lollipop apart so I decided to make a card…
