This is another one of those stamp sets where I have only used one or two elements and had no idea how to use the others. For a long time I wondered why would I want to stamp a grill on a card! Anyway, today I did! There must be a Dad out there who is passionate about grilling!
I stamped the grill image directly on the notecard, and then I stamped it again on a seperate piece of paper and coloured in the portion I wanted with my Copic Markers. I then added some glossy accents to it, let it dry, cut it out and adhered it to the card front.
I then did the unthinkable!!! Can you guess? ....yes.....I did....I cut up my sentiment stamp so that I could have three pieces and be able to stamp it at a different angle and also in different colours! Is that bad?!

Nice to see a clock on your blog Brenda - here it is 8:30 in the evening :) I saw this simple little challenge, loved how the sentiment should draw the attention, and you have done just that! By the way - what's cooking on the barbecue.. :)
I like this a lot, I too have done the unthinkable and cut into stamps so I could use them how I wanted xx
Lovin' the GA on the barbie AND how you chopped up the sentiment and did the 3 colors :) It will be so much more versatile this way! I think it's perfect for LIM

A great card Brenda. How brave of you to cut up your stamp, but it works so well. Sue.x
Love this one-layer card, Brenda! It does expand your creativity with cutting the sentiment, right! I think it's worth the cutting and love how you arranged the sentiment in a playful manner!
I think that's a good idea cutting up the stamp so now you have the freedom to position as you wish. Super father's day card. x
fabulous card, Brenda!! love that you stamped the sentiments in different colors.
Brilliant Father's Day card!
Smart if you ask me! Fab card

I don't know why, but I always hesitate to cut up my stamps...and it makes SO much sense! This looks fabulous!
Clever. Spot on I'd say. Lx
This is CAS perfection, Brenda! I think the same about manly stamps... hmmm, why, when... ha! The sentiment looks so good the way you did it!
