I broke out the neon paints, black sparkle embossing powder and sequins to create this teen birthday card as my third and final entry. The fabulous thing about kids neon paint is that it looks fantastic in real life, but it is difficult to photograph - especially at night when you want to highlight the black sparkle embossing too!
I painted the background in watercolour neon paint, once this layer was dry I stamped my sentiment in Versamark Watermark and Whispers Black Sparkle embossing powder, using a combination of stamps from Mama Elephant and Technique Tuesday. The wooden Basic Grey totally and Studio Calico heart embellishments were painted in neon hot pink and coated with Dimensional Magic. The wooden Kaisercraft funky girl was covered with Versamark Watermark and then dipped in the Whispers Black Sparkle embossing powder and heat set. All the wooden embellishments and sequins were adhered with Helmar 450 to ensure they don't fall off!

This is a 'totally awesome' birthday card! Teens are some of the hardest people to make cards for I find, but you've totally nailed it! :) I don't know how I miss gallery idol every year until I see it pop up on other peoples' posts?!! Although, I have a ways to go yet before I could even consider having a go - you gals are just too awesome! ;)
