This was made for recent swaps. To make the #4 I used the Baby Wipe Technique...using glossy card stock & dropping dots of the re-inker colors on the folded edge of a baby wipe & then swipe your design. This is a fun technique; super easy & dries immediately!! SUO

Thank you for your nice comments! Funny thing in regards to the baby-wipe technique for the #4...
I originally had it in my mind to stamp the imagine (grill-guy) in VersaMark and then white emboss powder (on glossy card stock w/the big circle). I then took the wipe with drops of the re-inkers & went across the whole thing. Unfortunately it is too detailed of an image to then make out what it actually was...SO! since I had already colored several pieces of glossy card stock I thought of the idea to make it an invite & use the #4!! It worked out okay in the end!

Love this, Gayle! Made me chuckle - and also made me long for the summer days and BBQs in the garden! Great job with the baby wipe technique too - I haven't tried that yet. There are so many things I want to try but so little time to fit them all in lol!

Great card! Love the card stock number and how you did that technique. I've never tried it but need to now! Love this image and your coloring. Happy stamping!
