We're still experiencing summer temperatures here in Ohio, so I felt summery when I made this card that harkens to picnics and cook-outs. The sentiment, however, is perfect for my sister's new job, so that's where this card is destined! (No, she's not opening a hot dog stand.) Isn't it wonderful when a loved one (or oneself!) moves from a job that sucks the life out of her/him to a job that is much more promising? Hot diggity dog, indeed!
The card uses A Muse's Hey, Man! set for the hot dog and sentiment, and a checkered border from Mark's Finest Papers's set called Snowman Country. I colored the hot dog with a combination of Bics, Sharpies, and Copics. The paper is Gina K's Deluxe card stock which is perfect for this because markers do NOT bleed through, no matter how much layering you do. Oh, yeah.
This card is sized 4 7/8" x 3 1/2"...a small size that fits into small envelopes I bought at Marco's Paper.
Many, many thanks to the awesome Krystie Lee Hersch for sponsoring yet another give-away for the One-Layer Wednesdays! Look at all that A Muse goodness. A random entry from this week's participants will be chosen to receive all this goodness...assuming I don't keep it all for myself. ;)
