Father's Day BBQ Apron die

Super fun new die set from Honey Bee Stamps!! This A2 size apron is so cool. I did mine a tad different than the instructions (that's how I roll) so I made just one cut on the fold and didn't need the "hinge" piece. Either way though, super simple design and fun to play with. Here's my first version.

Using elements from Ellen Hutson's Leading Ladies collection, I made this "picnic/bbq" themed card for hubsy. Now, I know that most husbands are kings of the barbecue, but not mine. Ok by me, though, I don't mind "manning" the grill. Hmm....king? man-ning? Maybe I should have a word with him. LOL kidding!

Isn't it just the cutest? I used farm-ish themed papers for my apron and I love how it turned out. The blue gingham check are scraps from a previous project, and the chickens are just too adorable.

I used copics to add dots to her head scarf and also cut her apron from the chicken paper. The pocket that holds the bbq tools (and the shish kebab LOL) is open for a gift card or whatever. 

The sandwich is popped with foam tape so it appears to sit on her hand. Sentiment is by Paper Smooches from the Daddy Yo2 stamp set. (full product list below)

Copic colors used.
