First of all I would like to thank you for all your lovely comments whilst I've been on hols and I will try to get round you all over the next few days, to catch up with your lovely creations.
This is a card I made for my Hubby's birthday which we celebrated whilst we were away. He loves to have a BBQ and is currently looking to replace our old one with a new red one. Hopefully there will be some dry days this summer to try it out!
I followed the Punch Art BBQ design on Dawn's Blog which uses a variety of punches to create this fab BBQ. The smoke is from Swirls Scribbles Sizzlit Die.
I made a little garden by adding some grass in Old Olive with the top snipped to look like grass then sponged a sky with Tempting Turquoise. I added the Whisper White panel to a Tempting Turquoise mat and then attached it to a Crumb Cake card base.
Just for you is from Tea Shoppe and I hand wrote the rest using my Real Red Stampin' Write Marker.
It's fun to use your punches in a different way.
We have a new super promotion on this month. Have a look
You can receive a ribbon and brad pack when you spend £45. The ribbons and brads match the gorgeous Everyday Enchantment papers that were in the Sale-A-Bration Promotion. If you didn't get the chance to pick up these papers at the time then no worries you can purchase them now whilst stocks last.
Thought I'd share a photo from our hols

Love the BBQ - what a great way to use your punches and dies! Hope your hubby gets an opportunity to use his real-life one - apparently the weekend weather forecast is good, so you may be eating your steaks outdoors!
