This is one of the cards I made as a sample for Lisa's WTUI challenge which you can find HERE.
I started by stamping and masking the chef. I used a little microglaze round the candle flame. Masked off the floor and stamped the print pattern and script to create a background. Scored tiles in the white portion and over-stamped with a flourish in green. Removed the mask and coloured the chef, added a Sharpie border and stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment.

Wow, I love this scene you have created out of some wonderful retired stamps. Makes you wonder why they were retired except that most of us already own them because they were such good ones. Great stamping on this cute card.

This is certainly an "oldie, but goodie" SU set, Sabrina. Love how you did the setting for the chef. You always do such creative techniques and share what you have done. Great, fun birthday card.

SO cute and a great tribute to the saying "Never trust a skinny cook" ! Love your use of the French script over the Harlequin bg for wallpaper and the embossed/stamped tiled flooring - Fun little french bistro!

Wow, you knocked it out of the park! So clever to make a tiled floor and wall. I have both those background stamps, but haven't seen them used together. The chef is adorable, the whole card is simply wonderful!

When ever I see this image I always think about the fabulous Teapot Tuesday card you made using Luigi. Love the wallpaper and tiled floor!! Another terrific card Sabrina.
