CAS(E) this Mama...


Seeing everyone having so much fun playing with neons, I thought I'd join in with this FAB Mama Elephant Photo Inspiration Challenge, and this weeks funky CAS(E) this Sketch.  Inspired by the stripes, the light and strong graphic elements combined with pops of pink, yellow and black from the inspiration photo, I inked up Mama Elephant On Target arrows in neon yellow.  Next up I heat set the ink before stamping Mama Elephants Bling "Sparkle and Shine" sentiment in Versamark Watermark and heat embossed in Whisper Black Glitter - super shiny & sparkly in real life! In neon pink is a combination of stars of Mama Elephants On Target, Believe in Magic and Starry Night, all pop dotted on some striped Echo Park paper.

 

Still a couple of days left to join in the fun with

Paper Crafts 2013 Gallery Idol...


If you haven't had a chance yet, go take a look at the Paper Crafts 2013 Gallery Idol cards - some fantastic inspiration for Kids & Teen Birthday cards - and I'm glad I'm not a judge!!!

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!
