If you've come to this blog site from Vera Yates, you're in the correct order. Yay! Why is 'in order' important?

All viewers, including international visitors, of today's Radiant Neon Blog Hop are eligible to win a prize from IMAGINE Crafts/Tsukineko . . . a complete set of the beautiful Radiant Neon pigment inks by tracking 'electric words' from each blog site to complete a secret phrase that you will email to IMAGINE Crafts. All of the contest rules and details can be found at the IMAGINE Crafts' blog:  (the contest is now closed). 

My card project today is quite easy. The Radiant Neon pigment inks from IMAGINE Crafts/Tsukineko are so lush and so easy to work with, plus they're fun. How can you not have a 'bright day' when you're crafting with the new Radiant Neons!

Ink Blushers were used to 'pounce' the ink colors onto the white card stock panel with a stencil from The Crafter's Workshop. A new stamp from Hanko Designs was used to add another block of color in the center. The panel was then adhered to the card base.

Radiant Neon ink color was applied to the Inchie Squares, and another color pounced on with the same stencil. I then stamped another new butterfly stamp from Hanko Designs onto the Inchie Squares with another Radiant Neon ink. After it was dry, I sprayed the Inchie Squares with Goosebumps in Shimmer for texture and a little glitz.

With the Inchie Plus Square, I stamped the word stamp from Magenta  and edged it with two colors (Electric Green and Electric Orange). Another Inchie Plus Square had been colored completely with the Electric Green ink, edged in Electric Orange, and layered underneath using Goosebumps spray as my choice of adhesive between the two layers.

The Inchie Squares and Inchie Plus Square, from Inchie Arts, were attached to the top card panel. Crystals from Hero Arts were applied to the Inchie Plus Square and one butterfly on each of the Inchie Squares.

SUPPLIES USED:

• IMAGINE Crafts/Tsukineko Radiant Neon pigment inks in Electric Yellow, Electric Blue, Electric Purple, Electric Green, Electric Orange and Electric Pink; Goosebumps Spray in Shimmer; Ink Blushers
