Neon Medallions

Hi everyone! My card today features some neon colours.
Sue McRae PB Round and Round Jul 3 2013
I found a stash of neon embossing powder that I've had for years.  I don't know who makes it or where I got it from but I thought I would use it with this pretty medallion image from Penny Black.

I had a hard time working with these powders, they were very clumpy from old age.  Fresher is better when it comes to using embossing powders.

I sprinkled the pink powder first on about 1/3 of the image, tapped it off and added more pink until the outer edge was finished.  Then I sprinkled the orange and finally the yellow in the same manner.  This helped prevent cross contamination of the powders.

I really love how the colours pop off of the black paper!

Thanks for visiting today!

    Wonderfully crafted, Sue! This brings back memories of an embossing class I taught about 15 years or so ago. We had fun using multi colors of e.p.'s and I do remember that everyone loved using a black card base because the colors popped so much. We did not have neons, though. I love that you chose that delicate doily stamp for this card. So pretty.
