Flippin’ Awesome

Welcome back, everyone! Glad you took the time to stop in. This week, we’re getting ready for Father’s Day, which is just a little under two weeks away. And today is an ode to all of the BBQ chefs we have out there as we pair up the BBQ Master stamps & dies with some fun papers to create this cute & playful ode to dad. Once again, fellow demo Heidi Collins over at On y Go! Stamping provided the inspiration for this card.

We get started with a base of Pretty Peacock cardstock. I paired up the peacock striped pattern from the new Everyday Essentials paper pack with the brush pattern from the Nature Walk pack. I used the darker pattern as the backdrop base and then dropped the stripes on top. A triangle is cut out of the top sheet to create a peek-through in the lower corner, which provides a nice way to highlight the focal point. I pulled out some of my favorite retired Pretty Peacock & Gold ribbon to bridge the two patterns. This full panel is adhered to the card front with dimensionals. Next up, we turn to our focal panel which begins with a panel of Pool Party shimmer paper cut with the Label Me Grateful dies. The grill is stamped in Pretty Peacock and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder to give it a more realistic sheen. It’s then cut out with the coordinating BBQ Master die. The flame is stamped in a combination of Real Red, Timid Tiger, and Crushed Curry and then cut out with the coordinating die. I added some Wink of Stella to help give a flicker effect to the flames. The sausage links are cut from Cajun Craze. The sentiment from the BBQ Master set is stamped in Pretty Peacock on an extended banner cut with the Nested Essentials dies. Everything is adhered to our card front with varying layers of dimensionals for some depth of scene. I added the sausage links willy nilly above the flames to give a sense of flippin’ to our scene. We finish things off with some Pool Party dots.

I really love how this one turned out, don’t you? So fun! I hope you’ll drop in tomorrow — we’ll be taking dad to the beach!
