Hey everyone!! I missed the boat with last week's Color Throwdown Challenge - this video/cards/process just took longer than usual for all the reasons. That said - these were fun to make and the crazy-bright neon colors just make me happy!!
It's the 4th time I'm using the Look for the Rainbows stamp set - if you missed any of my previous posts using it you can find them all at the links below:

For today's cards I'm using my Karin Brushmarker Pro's again - I recently got my hands on the neon set of them and have been itching to play with them!
I had the hardest time getting pictures of these cards. Filming the video seemed to work OK but trying to photograph such intense neon colors kept making my camera go haywire (literally - I'm not very skilled with a camera and I'm sure there's settings to combat that but I'm clueless).
I stamped the florals, stems and leaves from the Look for the Rainbows stamp set onto Bristol Smooth card stock using VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink and then clear heat embossed all the images. I then used the Neon Karin Brushmarker Pro's to color them in, and one of the browns (Praline) from the big box to color in the flower centres.
I used the coordinating wafer dies to die cut all the images, and arranged them into bouquets on all 4 cards.
The card bases were stamped with Simon's Outline Leaves Background using Fog ink - just subtle and perfect IMO!! I white heat embossed one sentiment on black card stock and stamped another sentiment onto the card bases from the Look For the Rainbows set.
Of course I finished off the fronts with some bling - Pretty Pink Posh's Flamingo Pink crystals were perfect for these cards.
I finished off the insides of the cards by stamping the florals with neon inks. The ones I used aren't available at SSS anymore - however I've linked to alternative RinaK inks that work fabulous. She's got a bunch of awesome neon products available now <-----click to check 'em out! I'm going to have to order a bunch of it b/c I have a thing for neon (and bling, and large floral stamps, etc etc etc lol).
So I finished off the insides of the cards with the large sentiment from the Look for the Rainbows set and that was it!
