Hi and welcome to Merry Monday. Today's challenge comes to us from Kristie Goulet who has challenged us to make a neon Christmas card!
This is as neon as it gets in my stash :)
To make this card, I white-embossed an old Penny Black image onto black cardstock. I then took a Versarmarker pen and colored the individual lights using squiggles before embossing with turquoise, orange and hot pink embossing powders. I put a touch of gold embossing on the end caps. The sentiment is silver embossed and a few colorful enamel dots finish the panel.
The black card was then layered onto a Melon Mambo card base, making for a bright (almost neon?) Christmas card.
I hope you have time to join in the challenge this week. Be sure to check out the rest of the design team's inspiration.
Thanks for visiting.
Products used:
Stamps: Christmas Lights (Penny Black), Season's Greetings (Rubber Stampede)
Ink: Versamark
Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Basic Black
Accessories: White EP, Tempting Turquoise EP, Melon Mambo EP, Tangerine Tango EP, Silver EP, Gold EP, Versamarker pen, enamel dots
Cheers
