* Neon

 Hello,

I was intrigued by the current challenge at Lost Coast Designs. 

It has a Neon theme. 

Now neon wouldn't normally be on my desk, but I had a rummage through my many drawers and I found some neon paints.  They are, to be honest, decades old so it was no surprise when it came out of the tube with a texture like cottage cheese. Unperturbed, I mashed it with a pallet knife and brayered the heck out of it until it resembled something close to smooth.

Here is my project. It's a panel that I stuck into a small art journal. I used a Lost Coast Designs silhouette stamp called Grunge Flower Profile:

I brayered the orange neon paint as well as I could to provide the base of the background. I then used a PaperArtsy stencil and sponged on some pink neon paint, fading it out towards the bottom right corner where my image would be. I added some neon pink splatters and some black ones too. The image was stamped onto the background, then again onto white card which I fussy cut and adhered. 

The sentiment is a snarky sticker from a Tim Holtz sentiment sticker pad. I added a black mat to help the neon pop a little more.

Thanks for stopping by today.

xoxo
