Happy Veggies Make a Happy Papa's Day!

So I just didn't have a witty title, but those smiley ears of corn, peas in a pod, and tomatoes simply deserved a shout-out.

This card was made for my bro-in-law, master Big Green Egg griller extraordinaire. I've used this stamp to make him a card before as I've had it for a few years, but, as I mentioned before that I lack guy stamps, I decided an oldie is a goodie and thought to use it again for him.

The bbq stamp is from Memory Box's old Fun in the Sun set. I think this is the only stamp I've used from this set so far...ironically, b/c who'd have thought a bbq stamp would get the most use? haha...

I used an old Taylored Expressions sketch. The DP is Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety, and I thought this particular pattern was appropriate to go with a grill image. Although, my sister said that piggy DP would have matched better...

I covered the grill with diamond glaze again, but it left weird air bubbles. Me no likey. I did more dashes of faux stitching with a white gel pen (dig it!) and sponged the tag with VersaMagic Mango Madness.

  2. actually, i thought that the air bubbles were done on purpose. i thought you were trying to add texture just like the Big Green Egg. in any case, i actually liked it.
