Did you sponge these? I was trying to figure out the technique. Also, did you do anything to preserve the card after getting the candy out?
really cute Cathy!
I did sponge them. And, no I didn't do anything to preserve the card. I scored the back of the card under the candy cup so the candy can be removed. If you are really careful you can pull up the candy cup and then just put the scallop circle back down.
