Y is for YUMMY!

Hello and happy Spring!  Hope you’re having a great March so far.  We just received about an inch of snow on Spring day, so I hope it starts getting warmed up from here!  I’m ready for warmer weather so I can cook out on the grill….YUM!  Speaking of that….

Today starts a new letter over at the Alphabet Challenge Blog and our lovely hostess would like to use “Y” is for YUMMY as the theme this time.  How fun is that!  Remember you have two weeks to join in the gallery to play with us.  Here’s my creation for this challenge:

I couldn’t resist getting out this fun “Food Truck” set from Riley and Company to color up!  I also paired it with the BBQ Riley to complete the scene full of yummy goodies!  The images were both stamped and colored up with Copics.  I used the coordinating die to cut out the Food Truck and I just fussy cut with scissors for the BBQ Riley.

Before attaching the images, I used a cloud stencil and blended the background and then took a piece of green cardstock to cut out a grass border for the bottom.  I ink blended the edges of the blades and then used a green Copic marker to add some shadowing for the stamped images before placing them down on the scene.  BBQ Riley was popped up with foam tape.

Here’s a closer view of the images.  I used a liner pen to draw “yum items” under the menu board on the truck with a drawing of a balloon.  I also used a silver gel pen to color in parts of the truck, the lights above the “food” word along with the utensils on BBQ Riley and parts of the grill.

I found a speech bubble and sentiment from my stash that I thought would be perfect for this card and stamped it above Riley’s head as he’s holding up a hot dog.

Do you like to stop and eat at food trucks?  What’s your favorite?  Last summer we went to a small town festival and they served some lemon shake ups at one place along with some BBQ shredded pork and it was so yummy!  We also like to grab some kettle corn to take home too.

Did I make you hungry now?!  Hope you’ve enjoyed my card today and I hope you’ll stop by the Alphabet Challenge Blog to come play along too!  We’d love to see your yummy creations!  Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by!  I enjoy reading your thoughts!  Have a great weekend!

  13. Vicki, this is too cute, I would say “stinkin cute” but I can almost smell the delectable goodies grillin’ outside. It’s making me hungry, sure am glad supper is just about ready! You use such wonderful touches to bring your work to life, highlighting the green and cutting the grass, really anchors this look so well! Your Y for Yummy is awesome friend! Smiles, Kathy

  15. Adorable and yummy card! And the perfect sentiment, too. My favorite food truck food are the street tacos. If you’ve never had one, they use a mini corn tortilla shell, so they are easier to hold and eat. Gosh, still snow? We’re in the 80’s all next week, xoxo

    1. I guess I’ve always lived in the Midwest and never thought someone might not know about those! They’re very popular at County Fairs/Carnivals and people stand in line for them. They are just a mix of fresh lemons, sugar mashed up with water and ice served over top. Here’s a link for a recipe with detailed information about it if you’re interested – https://www.farmwifefeeds.com/county-fair-lemon-shake-up/ They’re delicious and refreshing! 😉

      Thanks for your kind comments friend!
