We kicked off April with a BBQ over the weekend to celebrate the first of several family birthdays this month.
The cards for this birthday boy usually turn out to be golf themed however he also likes to cook and grill so I thought this would be a fun surprise.
The grill and the apron are very basic so they were easy to hand cut however the small heart on the apron was made with a punch. The legs and handles were made from a long thin strip of black paper cut with a paper cutter and the wheels were made with a paper punch. The string for the apron was just some I had in my stash.
As you may have noticed there are two slightly different versions. The first card at the very top of the post is printed with a fancy font. The card at the bottom I hand lettered with a black pen and then used a silver paint pen to draw details on the BBQ. A rubber stamp was used for the Happy Birthday on the apron pocket.
The card seemed to put me in the mood for checks so checks it was for the birthday table too. And, of course, there had to be a hint of golf somewhere.
So there you have it, the first of the April Birthday cards.
Happy Tuesday!
