Barbeque Dad by Dori Mendiola

 Happy Thursday AI Friends!

My card today is inspired by the blog challenge - We 💓 Dad's!  

Who doesn't love a Barbeque Dad?  My husband loves to grill and believe me, I'm not going to complain.  It's so nice when you can split the cooking!  

I knew the #5406 Mr. Set would be perfect for him for Dad's day!  This stamp set is sure to meet one of the many hats that your Dad wears.   From a hunter, to a fisherman, to a Tim the toolman, so many hats to choose from.

I began by stamping the images onto copic friendly paper and colored with my copic markers, listed below.  After coloring the images, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.  I love it when the stamp set comes with dies.  I picked a plaid pattern paper from the #6009 - Basic Green paper pack to paper piece his shorts.  Who doesn't love plaid shorts and black socks?  😁 

I also used the same paper pack for the background and the grass.  I made the background look like a shirt (even added a tie) by cutting an inch slit down the middle and folded down to look like a collar.  I added a die cut tie from the #5927 Fathers Day die set as well as the #1 on the grill lid.  This die set also includes a couple of sentiments.  "Super Dad" is one of them but I just cut off the mustache.  The grill die was from my stash but fit perfectly with Barbeque Dad.

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my card.  Make sure to check out the Bi-weekly challenge and enter your card/project for a chance to win a free stamp set of your choice.

Have a great day and keep creating!
