Remember when I said I wasn’t all that into neon colors when they first came out? Can you say … now happily addicted?
Here are some more neon samples (see my post from last Friday for more). All neon inks are from Hero Arts.
This one was so fast and easy I’m almost embarrassed:
All the stamps are from Close to My Heart. I love this set! (You can’t see it very well, but there are shadow images behind the outline, giving a bit of depth to the leaves and the flowers.) The frame was embossed in Zing! Neon Green powder from American Crafts.
This tag was cut using my Cricut; the neon butterflies are from Prima and Layers of Color; the neon dragonfly and the white embossed butterfly are from Inkadinkado.
And here’s one that almost didn’t work out:
The beautiful image is from Stampendous! and was black embossed. Then I tried to use one of my favorite inking tricks to color in the flowers — smooshing the ink pad directly on my Ranger Craft Sheet, then picking up the color with my water brush pen. For some reason, this didn’t work very well. The ink just stained my brush and wouldn’t brush on nicely. So I wound up using neon highlighter pens to color in the flowers!
Thansk for sticking around! And don’t be surprised if there are more….
