A CASual feast

Hello fellow crafters,

I was so excited to see that CASual Fridays has 'shaped cards' for there challenge this week ... I love anything novelty or made from materials to look like something else but this is CASual fridays and I'm not sure if my card is CAS????




I cannot take credit for designing the card as I've used a printed template from an old craft magazine ( I have a large folder full of cuttings and templates from when I reduced my magazine pile ) so I chose the card stock and traced the shapes to cut out and ink . I'm most pleased with the burger itself as I've used a fabric texture stamp by Inkadinkadoo in red brick, eggplant and sahara sand chalk inks on the plain brown card to make it look meaty and juicy :)

The onion rings are made from 'off white' vellum and the sesame seeds, with Anitas 3d glossy paint in cream ... I'm surprised this has not dried up as it's quite old now :)
The individual pieces are all stuck onto a piece of plain card that I trimmed to shape and folded on the side .
The sentiment is from Paper smooches 'vegtastic' stamp set and was just begging to be used :)

I'm also linking this to Julies snippets challenge because all of the card was from my scrap bin, including the card for the base shape too :)

I hope it fits the bill....or menu in this case:)
Thanks for looking and enjoy your weekend X

  2. *thud* A.m.a.z.i.n.g! Jenny this is fabulous for sure. I personally am going to pretend it's a veggie burger *wink*, but whatever the patty is, the whole bun rocks! You are so darn clever (even if it IS only for keeping old templates!). A perfect card for our CAS-ual Fridays challenge.
