True story- my husband and I once planned a small event
called Wienerfest. It took place on
national hot dog day in 2010. It was an
obstacle course event with about half a dozen contestants going head to head. They had to ride tricycles, fill alternating
shot glasses with ketchup and mustard, dig through buckets of relish for gherkin
pickles, eat chili dogs upside down and more.
Among other things, we wore “official” T-shirts, feasted on hot dogs and hot dog candy, gave
away hot dog BBQ packs (baskets, ketchup, mustard bottles, BBQ utensils and
more) and the champion earned an adult sized hot dog costume.
You are probably wondering why this is relevant. Well, if only I had this stamp set back then,
I would have done banners and ribbons for the winners and so much more! But alas, at least I have it now… J
I created this card by first stamping and coloring the Neat
and Tangled Hot Dog stamps. Now we all know that some people are mustard
people (my hubby) and others are ketchup people (me), frankly (pun intended) it
was hard to choose which condiment to go with.
But seeing as my hubby and I balance each other out, I thought it would
be important to have one of each represented. I so I colored one of each, cut out the dogs,
added some glossy accents to the condiment line and set them aside. Did the same with the trophy, colored and set
aside.
But the Ketchup mustard conundrum continued when I decided
to use this Waffle Flower backdrop, but again, I found a win by alternating red
and yellow. I stamped the images on the
base and popped out the cut out versions for dimension. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment on black with
Versa Mark and used Wow Embossing Powder- Flame. It looks more metallic and less red, on
black, but I liked the contrast and pop!
Here is a close up that helps you see the glossy accents.
Well you learned a little something about me today. I’d love to learn about you. Tell me, are you a ketchup or mustard
person? And/or anything else you’d like
to share about yourself.
Thanks for the visit!
