all hail the grill master


Welcome to sneak peek day 2! Today I'm giving you a little peek at the newest in the Leave A Lasting Impression collection called Boys Will Be Boys, along with the new Father's Day Key Ingredients kit. This new set is AMAZING! I think it's one of my absolute favorite masculine sets - so many fantastic images, perfect for the men/boys in our life. Both the Father's Day Key Ingredients kit and Boys Will Be Boys set will be available for purchase tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM Pacific Time!!
For this card, I'm using Taylor's TECC66 sketch and curved rectangle Nestabilities. A few fun things to point out - first is the metal sheets that will be available on Tuesday in this month's bundle (more details on that tomorrow). I ran the metal sheet through my cuttlebug using the D'Vine Swirls embossing folder and then attached it to my card using these fun little screw brads that come in the Father's Day KI - the look reminds me of those workshop cabinets. Next, I stamped the BBQ in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored in the legs and grill with my C1 Copic marker, then I stamped it again on black cardstock and paper-pieced the bowl of the BBQ. I did it! I made a masculine card! It's a very happy day, lol.
Now hop on over to see what the rest of the Baker's Dozen has whipped up for you today - Ana Wohlfahrt, Charmaine Ikach, Dawn Easton, Denise Marzec, Donna Baker, Jen del Muro, Jodi Collins, Karen Motz, Laura Fredrickson, Laurie Schmidlin, Sankari Wegman, and Taylor VanBruggen.

Thanks for stopping by!
Karen
