Fun with neon ink dabbers.

At this year's Retreat, Club Scrap introduced our new neon products: Neon Hybrid Ink Pads and Neon Ink Dabbers. I snapped up the package of six neon dabbers right away, but my weekend at Silver Birch was the first chance I had to play with them.

Neon Doodles UM stamps with dabbers in Pink, Orange, Yellow.
The ink colors are so vibrant and saturated. I couldn't believe how bright and fun they were! They pair perfectly with the Neon Doodles UM stamps from Tricia's Retreat workshop. I was on a card-making mission last weekend in effort to restock my stash for upcoming card swaps, and these stamps and inks were my favorite of the weekend.

After a quick demo from Tricia, I was off and running. The dabbers work great direct-to-paper, for inking direct-to-stamps, as well as using for stencil techniques. I love products that are versatile!

Here are a couple more cards I made:

Tribal Masking stencil, Tribal Art Nouveau UM, Purple dabbers

Neon Doodles UM, Purple, Green dabbers

If you've already purchased the Neon Dabbers, I encourage you to get them out an play with them. If you don't own them yet, I highly recommend them!




Creatively yours,
Karen

  4. I loved the retreat class with the doodle stamps & neon colors. I bought the whole shebang (neon daubers, re-inkers & stamps) and have really enjoyed 'playing' with them but you have given me more ideas -stencils!

  5. I wish I could see your cards. All I see is a message from Photobucket that says "Sorry. This person moved or deleted this image."

  9. Which stencil technique are we discussing? Is it similar to how we use gelatos with stencils?

    1. I use the dabber to stencil the Tribal Masking Stencil onto a card panel. Next, we moved the inky stencil to another sheet and rubbed it with a baby wipe, thus distributing the remaining ink onto the panel. It created that softer look. So, yes--I think so, Pam!
