Neon Christmas

Written by: iwona    22 Comments

I noticed a new challenge on the Moxie Fab World today, The Keen On Neon.
I never knew how to handle neon colours, and for years I considered them kitschy. Until I noticed the trend, that is - which as any trend may be more or less valid in one’s point of view, but always should be considered as a powerful tool. Or, the mustache trend. Doesn’t necessarily turn me on much either, but I say if people can get a tad silly because the trend allows them to do so, I say why not :)

I’m getting a tad silly here too, with this extremely neon-y Christmas card. I gave the two gorgeous stamps from Hero Arts their first inking, which is condemnable since I won them in a HA Contest a good few months ago 😛
I’m entering this card into their November Contest as well (Bring on the Bling, Embossing), hope that fact will bring me some luck *wink*

Okay, so I own close to nothing in terms of crafts, that is of neon colour. I made my way around it by using PTI Raspberry Fizz for my card. If any of their colours that may be considered as such, that’s surely the one!
I embossed the gorgeous Dotted Snowflake with Teal You What EP from Gel-A-Tins, and topped it up with 2012 Snowflake Pendant Shapeabilities® & MME glazed brad. The shape was die cut from Core’Dinations glitter cardstock, the one truly neon piece on this card :)
The sentiment comes from the Miracle Of The Holiday set.

I hope you like it :)
Thanks for stopping by! Join me for a CASE Study challenge in a couple of hours and then the last day of TCM November release previews shortly afterwards!

  1. Gorgeous card! I’m not into the moustache and neon trend either :) I fell into the hexagon trap and I had to get the hexagon die, after I got it , it was only used for a couple of cards!! Now it is sitting on the bottom of my dies tin! So I am not getting any neon inks!!

  2. I LOVE anything bright, but has taken me a short while to warm to neons too, I think it’s the memory of of my teen years and the flash backs with the WHAM T-shirts and jelly shoes…. Anyhoo, your card really is amazing Chupa and a real eye catching design, LoVe it!

  3. Congrats on your win. So well deserved, this card is one of my favs of yours, ehich is tough to decide because most everything you make is so fantastic!

Your comments make my day!
