Outdoor Barbecue

a post by Jackie

Nothing says summer quite like this masculine card I made. Outdoor Barbecue is a great set to have in your collection for making Father’s Day, retirement or birthday cards. I am getting into the grillin’ spirit & made this yummy birthday card featuring the grill and the steak images from this set.

Pairing a few neutral layers with the Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry really allowed for these colors to pop. I also used the chevron wood background from the stamp set Gallery Grunge for a fun texture on one of the layers and on the inside.

This card was pretty easy to assemble and so fun to color. I decided to go for a softer look using the colored pencils to color in these images instead of the blends. And I love the way it turned out.

Don’t forget to decorate the inside! I love the variety of images available in this set so I decided to add a kabob to the inside layer with more of the chevron from Gallery Grunge.

You could easily turn this into a different type of card just by changing the sentiment. I needed a birthday card so I used the Happy Birthday from the Peaceful Moments Cling Set.
