CASology #52: NEON

Hello, friends!  We had a wonderful July 4th celebration this past week, and now I'm back again with a card for this week's new cue at CASology!


This week we are sponsored by Avery Elle ... check out all the details at the CASology blog! 

I know neon is a popular trend right now, but I have to admit it is not really up my alley.  I don't own any neon ink pads (I can hear some of you gasping right now as I shrink back in my chair), but I do have some neon papers in my stash (phew!).  That's what I played with, and I actually made two cards!  I used some Cuttlebug flower dies and the "Framed Fonts" set from Avery Elle along with a few embellishments, keeping it CAS. 

Here is a white card base using neon flowers:



And now put on your sunglasses, here is a neon card base:

Materials Used (for both cards):
Stamps: Avery Elle "Framed Fonts"
Inks: black dye ink, Wet Cement midtone ink 
Other: Cuttlebug flower dies, Lil' Inkers Stitched Rectangles,
Glossy Accents, gold thread, gingham ribbon, black pearls

So, what does neon bring to mind for you?  I can't wait to see!  Link up your card by 4:00 p.m. Sunday (CDT) and be sure to check out the design team and guest designer cards this week, too!





Judy Marino --> that's me!







 Guest Designer: Shirley

Thanks for visiting!

    I just LOVE paper, paper, paper, the brighter the better. I awlays have to refrain myself. This challenge, is perfect for paper. If I didn't have the wee little fish I would have gone crazy over neon papers!

    So FUN!

    Wow, your cards really demonstrate the different impacts of a white card base and a bright - ok, NEON!! - card base. I love the first card for its delicate design, and the second for its bold design!

    I'm in the minority with ya Judy- no neon inks for me either! I really love how the black accents make the neon flowers pop in your first card!

    I love those open flowers and the way they pop off the gingham ribbon! And the gold thread on the second card is such a cool touch.

    Hi Judy! Thanks so much for your comment on my blog. I do remember the Crayola product that you would scratch off the black to reveal rainbow colors. Always loved that kind of stuff. Oh the days when my boys would love to craft - now it's xbox, iPad, etc... I love your neon cards. It's not up my ally either, so I was glad to have a push to do something outside my comfort zone. I actually forgot I had anything neon in my stash! I especially like the one with the neon card base. Yes, you do need sunglasses but it is fabulous. Try to stay cool this week. I am in central Jersey between New Brunswick and Princeton. Heading to the beach as much as I can this week!
