Birthday Card for My Nephew - a Hamburger!

My nephew Alex's birthday is coming up in December and I thought I'd make him a birthday card before I began focusing on holiday crafts.  He'll be 14 this year...he's a star athlete, a big ol' teddy bear, a great cousin to my children and a lover of most foods (what 14 year-old isn't??).  So I thought I'd make him a card with food on it...something a teenager would like.  My 9 yr-old son is always suggesting I make cards with hamburgers on them (funny, huh??)....and I thought this would fit the bill for Alex.  Here's my card:

Recipe

Hamburger - cut from Locker Talk, all layers and shadow
Burger patty - embossed using CB distressed stripes folder

Rounded rectangle for sentiment - cut from George & Basic Shapes

Rectangular shaped card - George & Basic Shapes, welded with my Gypsy

Patterned paper - My Mind's Eye 'Everyday Tango' stack

Cardstock - Recollections
Cat's Eye chalk ink
Pop dots

Sentiment printed on my computer

I'm entering this card into My Creative Time with Emma's Throwback Thursday food challenge to make any project that has to do with food, using an older Cricut cartridge.  I used Locker Talk for my burger.  That cartridge also has images of french fries, a pizza slice and soda.  I'll be using it for more cards soon (I have quite a few teenaged nieces and nephews!!).  I inked it, popped it up with pop dots and used a simple rounded rectangle to write my sentiment.  The inside of the card says..."Hope your birthday is full of YUM!" 

I'm also entering the card into the Wacky Wednesday #15 - Color Challenge at More Than Favors by Paula.  Paula's challenge is to use the colors brown, green and blue on a project.
