King of the Grill

Here's my card for today's SCS sketch challenge. With Father's Day coming up, I thought it would be nice to put a masculine slant on the sketch, so I used images from the DoodleFactory Great Outdoors set from Starving Artistamps.

I stamped the grill image on white cardstock, then colored the image with Copic markers. I used a stipple brush to add in the grass and a cloud template with a sponge to create the sky background. I stamped the hamburger images on a scrap of paper, colored them, then cut them out and attached them to the grill with dimensionals.

I found some masculine colored patterned paper from Scenic Route to use for the panels on my cardfront. I coordinated the mats for the image and layers with the colors in the paper. Since I was going for a masculine look, I kept my embellishments simple. I added a pair of wooden buttons with twine threaded through the buttonholes and the "king of the grill" sentiment stamped in red on a white oval.
