Inky Hop

Stampendous and Imagine Crafts Header
Welcome back! We're on Day 5 of our collaboration with the folks at Imagine Crafts! We're just super excited about these terrific inks and the Radiant Neon just have us feeling all summer time and happy! Combining them with Stampendous Images and terrific Frantage Color Fragments has made some super cheery, bright inspiration for you!! 

I had so much fun creating the card I'm sharing with you today!  This idea popped into my head as soon as I opened the box when they came in the mail.  I first stamped this great Live Creatively stamp by Stampendous with VersaMark ink and heat embossed it with Detail White Embossing Powder. Then came the fun part!

Using a fingertip Sponge Dauber, I applied the brilliant Radiant Neon Inks.  I applied the ink a little heavier toward two corners and lighter as the dots moved closer to the sentiment.  It almost creates a bokeh look.  I kept the card simple to let the inspiring sentiment and vivid inks speak for themselves.
