Lunch Plates

 Hello!  

I am back again with another fall and food themed card.  I am loving the Spellbinders Dish It Up Dies and had to use them on another card.  

I know I am not the only one always asking friends to go to lunch!  I mean, it's a favorite activity!  I thought these dies would work perfectly for a friend 'let's go to lunch' card. 

 A place setting seemed to be the perfect way to go and there is a lot of inspiration online as far as place settings go.  This time I used Mirror Gold cardstock for my utensils from the Dish It Up Die Set.  I also used the Mirror Gold cs to make a gold rimmed plate and a gold salad plate.  The gingham plate was done with my favorite background stamp, Gingham from IO.  My leafy sprigs are made with Spellbinders dies, but they have been retired.  These dies are similar.  

I die cut these sprigs in every color cardstock imaginable, but nothing looked right.  I finally found a piece of discarded alcohol inked Yupo in pretty fall colors.  I die cut a set of sprigs, then placed a cs die cut offset behind it to give it a drop shadow appearance. A little bit of gold thread and a few sequins add more sparkle. 

I used a doily as a place mat.  This card base is another one that I have recycled from a disassembled card.  I may have not done any card making in the last few months, but I have disassembled a LOT of them!  Let's Do Lunch is a sentiment from a retired IO stamp set. 

I am linking this card up to Sunday Stamps~
