Paper Craft Crew Inspiration Challenge #574: Bistro Burger

Good morning!

I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend, it was great to take time to celebrate the Father's in our lives.  I decided to hold off sharing today's card, which uses the Paper Craft Crew Inspiration challenge until today so Chris wouldn't see the card I made for him.

When the Bistro Burger stamp set, and coordinating dies, were released I knew I had to have them as grilling and food is such a big part of our lives.

For this card I started with Basic Black cardstock for the cardbase and added a piece of Country Woods Designer Series Paper with the dark wood tones as a perfect background.  I stamped the burger, fries, and pickle image using Momento Ink on Basic White cardstock and then colored them in with my Stampin' Blends.  Not going to lie, I took a little extra time and just relaxed and colored to get the images that I really wanted.  Don't forget, the Blends Color Lifter is a must have tool when coloring to help add some extra dimension to your image.  

Once the coloring was done I used the Burger Bistro Dies to cut the images out.  I also used the dies to cut the flames (and sponged them with Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie inks) and the knife that is 2 pieces cut from Silver Foil Paper and Basic Black cardstock.

The greeting is from the same stamp set and was stamped in Poppy Parade ink on Basic White cardstock and punched out with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch. 

I used dimensionals to pop up the burger and pickle, and yes I used a real toothpick to attach the pickle to the burger!

This card definitely made me do a happy dance, and I think Chris liked it as well!  Also, just a reminder, you can buy the Bistro Burger bundle (and other bundles in the catalog) for an additional 10% through June 30 so if this is on your list order soon!
