A Swirly Bon Appetit!

Hello and welcome.  I'd like to share another card made for Splitcoaststampers VSN challenges.  For this one, I decided to pull out one of my favorite Stampin Up sets Viola and Viola To Go.  Unfortunately, they're both retired.  I sold my set back in 2016 in a panic when we had to move and regretted that ever sense.  Finally found a replacement set on the secondary market that I didn't have to sign over my first born plus not have to pay a crazy amount.  I digress.

I started out by stamping my chef, spaghetti and saying in memento tuxedo black ink onto a scrap of white Hammermill card stock before coloring everything using both my prismacolor and copic markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I layered everything before adding brads and setting aside.  My card is dry embossed using a Sizzix swirl embossing folder and my big shot.  After the dry embossing was finished I adhered the layered image onto the card using glue dots.  Taking a black gel pen, I highlighted the "Bon Appetit", chef's mustache and neck scarf to help them stand out a bit more.  I'm really pleased with how this turned out.
