Neon Embossed Card

This Neon Embossed Card was made for my teenage niece. I find it challenging to make a card for a teenager. I'm always worried it won't be "cool" enough. Well... whether it's cool or not, I had a lot of fun using my heat gun and neon embossing powders to make it. I do have a TIP to share- when heat embossing I use a silicone pinch grip to keep from heating my fingers. It works really well and you can find them in the kitchen section of most big box stores.

The design for this card is based off this weeks sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. I love using circles and knew this sketch would make a fun card for my niece. When selecting the colors I went with her favorite Neon Pink and then played around until I settled on Tempting Turquoise, Neon Green, White and Black. The black panel was in my scrap bin and only needed a little trimming. I love it when I find a scrap that fits! The final touch was three white brads that I heat embossed with Neon Pink embossing powder. Thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic Friday!!!

Neon Good Job Card

Okay.... I really should be studying so this is going to be a really quick post! Here is my Neon Good Job Card that I made combining the following fabulous challenges:

• CASology: NEON
• CAS-ual Fridays: Polka Dots
• Annabelle Stamps: Polka Dots
• Art Impressions: Twine Time

To create this Neon Good Job Card I heat embossed the polka dots and sentiment with neon Zing! embossing powder. Black is a wonderful contrast to neon colors and I added black twine to add a little more interest. This card will end up going to one of my nieces. Thanks for stopping by and have a terrific Friday night!
