Neon Marvels Ghosting Technique

First things first, I am happy to announce the random winner of our Random Act of Kindness Day giveaway on Monday: Comment #6, Toni Burks.
This is what Toni had to say, "I would RAK my friend Ellie Fannin who is struggling with terminal brain stem cancer. I've been papercrafting with her to lift her spirits, but she is very lonely and bored because she can't do much."  
Congratulations to both of you!

Remember last week I posted a fun tutorial called the Metallic Marvels Ghosting Technique? After trying it with the metallic inks, I wanted to try the same technique with Club Scrap's Neon Dabbers. Here are the BOLD results.


Neon Pink Metallics Combo
Step 1. Make puddles of Neon Pink dabber ink and gold and copper metallic re-inkers on glossy cardstock. Roll with rubber brayer.

Step 2. Stamp Tribal medallion image onto wet inks and slide to create ghosting effect.


Step 3. Stamp inked medallion onto plain white cardstock.


Step 4. Allow panels to air-dry completely, or use a heat tool. Finish cards using the panels you created.


Neon Green & Blue 
Step 1. Make puddles of Neon Blue and Green dabber inks on glossy cardstock. Roll with rubber brayer.

Step 2. Stamp various images from Time of Your Life  onto wet inks and slide to create ghosting effect.

Step 3. Stamp inked images onto plain white cardstock.

Step 4. Allow panels to air-dry completely, or use a heat tool. Finish cards using the panels you created.


Neon Dabber Metal Medallions
Step 1. Use white acrylic paint to cover metal medallions. Allow to dry.


Step 2. Apply Neon Pink ink dabber and Gold Metallic Re-inker to medallion. Use your fingertip to blend.


Step 3. Allow to dry. Use Emery board or sand paper to remove ink from the raised areas.


Step 4. Repeat steps using Neon Green.


Thanks for stopping by and hope you enjoyed the tutorials.
