Neon Flower


I had my mind set on using this stamp from Hero Arts to create a paper flower for this months challenge
but I just couldn't make it work so I gave up on the idea.  But my obsession with using this stamp continued so I decided to try again and I played around some more and came up with this.
Neon Flower

I stamped the image several times in each neon colour from this months challenge and formed flower "cups" that were layered on top of each other.  I think it's a happy flower and am pretty pleased with how it turned out.

I'm giving this card to a friend for her birthday (in person, this card is not mailable) and it seemed a shame that the flower couldn't be enjoyed for a long time so I added a magnet to the back of the flower and made it so the flower can be removed from the card front and  put on the fridge for further enjoyment and/or admiration  : )

Thanks for stopping by and wishing you all an inky day!

    Awesomely pretty card, and aren't you clever to figure out how to use the stamp this way. It made a gorgeous flower, and so cheerful with the DP used. Great idea with the magnet too. TFS

    Brilliant idea, Sue! Both the flower design and making it a magnet to extend it's beautiful little life! So glad you persisted. :) I really like the new birthday sentiment fonts in this set, too. Great job.

    This flower looks just like a rolled rose; it came out beautifully but I bet it was a lot of fussy cutting. Love the colors you used. Thank you for sharing your creativity.
