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.
