BBQ Man

This is the card I made for my husband's birthday as he really fancies himself as a bit of a BBQ expert!
We have several barbies in our garden, one which looks pretty much like this one, plus a smoker, a gas barbie and a chiminea. He began his association with them when we lived in the USA many years ago and his enthusiasm hasn't waned in the interim.
For this card I used a stamp from Hobbycraft, (I bought a whole set just for this stamp!) I coloured it with watercolour pencils and a water brush, but I wanted to get the sheen of the real barbie and wondered how to achieve it. What I came up with in the end was to put a little Versamark reinker onto a craft mat and used it to paint over the image using a fine brush, I simply sprinkled over some clear embossing powder and heated it. Bingo... a shiny BBQ!
The sentiment is from Happy Little Stampers!

    I love this!! How clever you are to get the little Weber kettle shining like the real thing, Chrissie! Phil must have been so tickled with this! Happy Birthday to him - I didn't know we shared the same birthdate!! Hope the cruise is amazing!! Hugs, Darnell

    I love a good barbie. Nothing better (and it doesn't dirty the kitchen). Perfectly CAS too. Hope you are enjoying your holiday xx

    Your little BBQ is adorable and how perfect for your husband! Sounds like he has quite the assortment of BBQs and I imagine you're treated to some mighty fine dining as a result!
