Neon Christmas

My mojo has been running on empty the past few days, but when I saw the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge was to use neon colors to create your holiday card, I got inspired.

I followed the current sketch from Clean & Simple challenges:

and no, I didn't use washi tape. Well, I did, but not in the way you'd think.

Here's the first card I made:

I CASEd the snowflake idea from Jennifer McGuire's post. I'd wanted to try it, and once I combined that idea with the angles of the sketch, and threw in neon, it all came together pretty quickly. I used Hero Arts neon inks for the snowflakes, and Tsukineko Radiant Neon Electric Blue for the sentiment so I could clear emboss it.

Then there was a glimmer of light and I thought maybe if I used a pink washi tape as the border, I could enter this into the current Jingle Belles PINK Christmas challenge:

Oh, here's proof that the sentiment is actually embossed:

I may or may not go back and add something to the centers of the snowflakes. The jury is still out on that.

Then I got another idea, which I'll post separately since I'd also like to link it to the sketch challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Stuff I used: washi tape, vat of clear embossing powder, and the following:
