All I could think of when I saw the King Of The Grill set by Rupa, was my Dad's grilling apron. He wore it all the time when I was growing up, so I decided to make him a card.
His didn't have the BBQ on it, but a guy in a chef's hat flipping a burger. It did have the red ties and the red stitching, and it did say King Of The Grill. I don't remember if it was a gift from us kids or not, but we sure made him wear it every time he would fire up the BBQ...LOL
I stamped it on with Basic Grey ink, and then colored it in with my markers, using the red marker for the stitching. I used the horizontal punch to add the ribbon on the top. It is a really simple card, but the memories it brings back are many!
Here is the template for you. Hope you have a great day, have fun and happy stamping!
TOO sweet! Just love this. It's infamously difficult to do guy cards. This is the perfect solution. Lovin your new haircut by the by. You look Fab! :0) mel

Julie - I thought I had opened the wrong blog and then I thought you put someone else's picture in. Wow, what a difference a 'do' makes. A change makes you feel good. I just got a new 'hair do' also.
