For Lydia's Tan Lines VSN challenge. As soon as I read it, I knew I'd be making another card for Ky's recent MIX69 challenge which I had such fun with. I was going to be more adventurous and do less of a grid...but then I read the MMTPT306 Dreams Do Come True challenge. Billy Joel songs...Piano Man would have been easy, Uptown Girl... Honesty, not so much and several other ones DH suggested, not so much. Scenes from an Italian Restaurant!!! How could I pass up an opportunity to use the chef . So regular gridded tiles it is.
This is one of the stamps I keep a mask for with the set, so it was pretty quick to make, too. Stamped and masked the chef. Masked off the bottom with post-its. Used quilters tape to mark the grids. Scraped chalk pastels over, pounced them in and sprayed with fixative. Removed all the masking, drew the floor in, added some decor to a few tiles, printed and diecut the words from the song, and added a bit of colour with pencils. There's Glossy Accents on the wine bottle and cheese plate. And I even had the photo taken and edited within the hour time-frame!!

Amazing 3D look you achieved with those lines. Your coloring is fantastic on this card. Pinned for future ideas...I have this stamp set, but I never made anything this cute with it.
I Love Art Impressions stamps ! I did this one with a banner that read 'Aged to Perfection'.... only for my Son. Wouldn't have parted with the card otherwise ! I am going to 'steal' your sentiment ... xx Gail
