Radiant Neon to Make a Tacky Tourist Signage Card

We don’t have a name for “Tacky Tourists” in Germany. But it’s a really good and funny description for these kind of travelers and I think, we should have a German word for them. For this card I created a new road sign. A couple of years ago, my BFF Dagmar and I visited the Gizeh Pyramides at Kairo, Agypt. 


Radiant Neon to Make a Tacky Tourist Signage Card

Directions:

1. Cut out a 3”x3” inch piece of yellow cardstock square and round the edges with a corner chomper. Draw a fine line with irresistible Pico Embellisher Tuxedo Black.

2. Die cut the letters and glue them onto the cardstock. Fussy cut a small stripe of black cardstock, glue it under the sign to create a pylon.
