Let's Chill

Hi Everyone! This is Elizabeth with 217 Creations. Thank you Pam for having me over to play.  Summer time is winding down, but there are still some weekends left for those get togethers.  What a better way to invite everyone over for some grilling than this cut invitation!?!
This card is really easy to make.  I started with an A2 and stamped "Let's Chill" from Pink By Design Simply Everything.
 Next I cut these sun images from Enjoy the Seasons, by far my most favorite of Imagine cartridges.
 I cut two so that I could separate the 3 suns into layers.  I used pop dots to give some dimension. Many Imagine cartridge images do not have layers.  By cutting an extra set, I can create my own layers.
 Next I adhered this BBQ grill to my card base.
I added a flat tied bow to the side.
 I have done this tutorial before, but for those who may have missed it, here is how I tie these bows.
Here is the link to the video for my email subscribers How to tie a flat wrap bow.  Sometimes Feedburner does not add my videos.  I put this link a convenience.  If you are viewing this on my blog, then there is not need to click the link unless you want to subscribe to my YouTube channel.
 Finally I added the suns.
 
   Here are some other angles.  Remember you can click on the pictures to enlarge.
Part of me will miss the summer but I so love autumn.  It is my favorite season.  Thank you as always for leaving comments and subscribing here at the Bug Bytes and on my personal blog at 217 Creations.
