Hi again! I'm back with my second card for the
Paper Smooches Cardstock Contest. To see my first card, click
here. The challenge is to make a project using only cardstock - no patterned paper. I love me some patterned paper, so this was definitely a challenge for me. But I came up with a couple of pretty cute cards, if I may say so myself :) Here is my second paper yummy:
I used a few stamp sets to create this card, including the adorable new
Alfresco set. But instead of stamping the hamburger "as is", I decided to do a bit of masking and stamp the patty/cheese over and over again, to create a giant burger. If you were that cute lil' ant, wouldn't you wish for a burger that size? LOL :)
I thought it would look cute to have a toothpick sticking out of the burger, so I decided to put my sentiment flag on the toothpick. I stamped some subtle tone-on-tone polka dots, then created a sentiment from the
Alphadot set:
Since there was no patterned paper allowed, I created the "tablecloth" using the gingham stamp from the
Debonair set. I had so much fun creating this card. The hardest part was trying to determine what color markers I should blend to create a good hamburger patty color. I guess you just can't find a good meat-colored marker anymore. What's the world coming to?
I used this sketch from
Retro Sketches:
That long narrow strip is what actually inspired me to make a giant stacked 8-patty-8-cheese burger. I'm also playing along here:
