Charcuterie

Hi all. It's been a long time since I've made a card just for fun, but we had a long weekend here in New Zealand and rather than do boring stuff like doing some winter gardening, I decided to spend a whole day in my craft room. That turned into a day and a half, but it was good to just play with no design team commitments. I decided to play along in a couple of challenges with my card today. The Honey Bee Stamps Buzzworthy Challenges FB group has a monthly card contest and this month's challenge is Father's Day. Father's Day isn't until September here but I bought this set specifically for my DH so I thought it was time to put it to use and get ahead of the game!

I'm also playing along with Addicted to Stamps and More who are looking for die-cuts this challenge. Everything apart from the patterned paper was cut with dies.

I hadn't done any Copic colouring for a long time so that was my plan this weekend. I coloured up a sunflower which will be in an upcoming DT post and then had fun colouring all these images, using about a million different Copic markers. Once coloured, I worked on the cutting board which was die-cut and then ink-blended with Distress inks. I arranged the food onto the cutting board and adhered it all with liquid glue then used foam tape to add the board to the card base. I tucked in a few pieces to the side of the cutting board and added the sentiment.
