Ready for the Grill

      Last month I missed out on getting a card done for the "Anything Kitchen or Food" challenge at FQ HomeStyle Kitchen.  But this month, I'm on top of it!  With spring right around the corner, we're already thinking about BBQ grills and cook outs so this card celebrates the anticipation of those times.  At my house, the first sign of spring is not flowers blooming but the cleaning and preparation of the BBQ grill !  LOL

     The image is clip art, printed in very light grayscale, then colored with a combo of water color paints and alcohol markers, with gel pen highlights on the white flowers.  The image was cut with a Tonic Studios die and the sentiment was printed and cut with an Avery Elle die.  I inked the edges and layered those two together, putting them on the card front without further embellishment so that it makes a fabulous, masculine, CAS card.

     Can't you taste that grilled corn on the cob already?  Mmmmm, so good!
