Happy Birthday, Austin!

I cannot believe that Austin is seventeen years old today!

I swear all I did was blink!

I wanted to share the card that I made for my first born for today,

using my new PTI King of the Grill stamp set.

Now, Austin has always been more of a "plain" guy when it comes to burgers.

He loves them best with only cheese and bacon.

And his favourite colour has always been orange.

So, for the border along the side, I used my new MFT stencil to apply summer sunrise and 

orange zest ink to my orange zest cardstock.

For my burger, I diecut the buns and olive using the coordinating dies.

I stamped the buns first in Wplus9 Hayride and then, using my MISTI,

used my blending tool to sponge on some Altenew Caramel Toffee ink and stamped it again.

I love the dimension this adds!

I stamped the cheese in summer sunrise and the patty and sentiments in Altenew Dark Chocolate

on my background panel, and then cut along the edges with scissors and 

used my trimmer for the straight edges.

I'm linking this card up to this week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Stencil It.

We celebrated Austin's birthday last Thursday by going to see Captain America Civil War,

which was excellent, by the way!

Tonight, I'll make homemade pizza for supper and we'll give him his gifts.

It should be fun!

Thanks for looking!
