Happy Caturday!
The weather is so perfect here right now - we've been doing a lot of outdoor cooking.
For a long time, we've been grinding our own hamburger meat from chuck roasts, and it's SO much better than buying ground beef! So yesterday, we prepped some for hamburgers for the upcoming week. We even have an old school Tupperware patty maker thingy that makes them all the same size for freezing. I use this for my favorite veggie burgers too - it makes it SO easy to make freezer meals with my FoodSaver.
We also have purged all non-stick and made in China pots and pans years ago, and have been looking for a two burner griddle for hamburgers for a long time that was made in the USA and not non-stick. We finally found this carbon steel one, and we love it! You treat it a lot like you do cast iron - gradually seasoning it until it becomes naturally non stick. It's fantastic.
So are you hungry yet? I am! So I'm bringing you a beautiful cheeseburger stamp today and a SUPER fun technique that I discovered by accident - a resist technique with this Amalgam Ink and Karin Markers! IT IS AMAZING and takes all the work out of coloring a detailed image! So fun - you'll see the video below. Please remember that I have a coupon code for a discount on the markers at the end of each blog post!
I cut apart this sentiment to have it stacked on this card, and after I was done coloring, I added a few white gel pen highlights. The card base is Key Lime.
In case you don't see the video player below - HERE is a link to the fun technique video for this card.

ReplyDeleteThe video actually makes it look like I could color this. What a nice image and card you colored. [Bunny]
ReplyDeleteSo fun watching you color that image, the resist is so cool!
ReplyDeleteOh! I love your burger. I LOVE the idea that the ink resists and pops out the details!
ReplyDeleteok, that's very cool, now I have to buy amalgam ink and try that, your card is lovely too
ReplyDeleteThis stamp is soooo fun!! I have a laugh every time I see it!! They’re so creative over at PFS. Love their products!! Amazing job on this card. Frighteningly realistic!!! Makes me want a big juicy burger!
ReplyDeleteThat was a cool discovery...and now I want a hamburger! Happy Caturday!
ReplyDeleteLove the burger stamp! I am going to have to try airtable as well. I have heard good things about it.
ReplyDeleteI love bacon cheeseburgers. What a cool discovery! I love that this technique does most of the work for you.
ReplyDeleteLooks good enough to eat!!! Love that stamp set and yes it is a great time for grilling... Great collaboration of Pocket Fence and Sweet Petunia, thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteGood to know about that amalgam ink. The burger looks so good!
ReplyDeleteYour card certainly got my mouth watering. It looks so realistic! Hamburgers are a favorite of mine, especially when grilled.
ReplyDeleteWowza! That is amazing, and the coloring! You dont know me, but I hear about you all the time! I grew up with Melanie and Monica 💗
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing! that hamburger looks so real and now I want one. Fabulous card!
ReplyDeletethanks for the video and technique
What a great technique thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteCute card, love the coloring technique. We have been eating lots of burgers lately - my favorite is to mix a grated zucchini and some seasoned salt into ground turkey.
ReplyDeleteHi, I have meant to tell you that I purchased the Airtable program a few months ago. I love it! Every time I use it, I say, ”thank you” to you. It has transformed my collection's usability.
ReplyDeleteLove a good cheeseburger! Awesome card... colored so beautifully! Have to try some hybrid ink!
ReplyDeleteYummy! I was stunned by how realistic it was. Watching the video, explained why. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOMG, making me hungry; this looks quite realistic. Guess I like the regular style hamburg the best.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome discovery!
ReplyDeleteRemember the Tupperware patty maker (probably
ReplyDeletehave one stuck away around here someplace).
You made me hungry for beef so that's what I
had for lunch. My fave hamburger was at a
place called Wainwright's. they were thin
patties and steamed buns. Another
tavern features the same type of burger
now, with the same name. Not as good
as the original (or as my memory things
they were). stay safe

Now I'm craving a cheeseburger! Your coloring is jaw dropping amazing!

ReplyDeleteVery cool! Made me hungry!
ReplyDeleteAll I need now is me some bacon. "Bacon is the duct tape of the kitchen."
