Neon is making a come-back, no?
I see the clothes my husband's nieces wear and it only confirms it.
The bright pink, blue, green, yellow and yes, even orange.
Yes, I do dare say I think neon is around for a bit.

Jocelyn and her designs hold a special place in my crafty heart. One of her creations was the first card I saw by "outside" person that featured a stamp set that I designed. And wow, what a creation it was! I have been hooked on her blog ever since and I really think you will be too, if you aren't already! She's got such a modern style and mad design skills! Please stop on over to Red Balloon Cards to check out Jocelyn's version!
Wow, you can't miss this stunner Karen! Love the embossed rays :)

ReplyDeleteBAM! Awesome neon card, Karen. Yup, neon is coming back. If you ever want to experience some intense color, step into a Justice store. My girls love it...my eyeballs POPPED when I first experienced it. LOL

Neon is definitely back! I'm still not sure if I liked it the first time in clothing.. but I certainly think it's super fun in a card! Can't wait to see what Jocelyn makes!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, neon is totally back and your card is rockin'!
ReplyDeleteAh, I remember the neon fashion from the 80s! But they never looked as good as your card! Love the embossed rays and how these colors look together.

ReplyDeleteFabulous card, LOVE the colors!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI Love your take on the sketch and you're right neons are back!! Who would of thought, right?!
ReplyDeleteThank You Karen
I have to say that I will not accept neon back. It was bad enough the first time. The real question, is how do you make neon look GOOD? Your card is fabulous. Although I am not a fan of neon, I really like how you used the colors.
ReplyDeleteYou go, Neon Girl! Totally hip! And I do love those rays....
ReplyDeletesuper colors! neon, that's something i don't use, but you used them so beautifully! great card, Karen!
ReplyDeleteKaren, once I put on my sun glasses - just kidding - your card is FABULOUS!!! Sorry it's taken me this long to come back and comment - I only had time to peek at everyone's cards before! Thanks so much for playing with us at RetroSketches and I hope you will join us again!
