Radiant Neon Blog Hop

If you are here for the Spellbinders® Springtime Shipping Frenzy, please see post HERE. 

Hi and welcome to the Radiant Neon Blog Hop!!! IMAGINE Crafts has partnered up with CardMaker magazine for an amazing hop!!! 
The hop starts HERE at the Card Maker blog!!
Due to conflicting commitments, my post is not a part of the official hop, so to speak. But I certainly am glad you stopped by!!! There will be no "ELECTRIC WORDS" to gather here at my blog.

Today I'm sharing a card with you that I created using the amazing Radiant Neon inks!!! I seriously love these! At first, to be honest... I didn't know if I'd like them. I'm not really into "electric" colours. But man, was I wrong! I fell in LOVE with them! They are vibrant, juicy, they blend amazingly, just to mention a few of my favourite things about them!!! They are my GO TO inks now... first colour choice for SO many projects!!
So, here is a simple card that I created, using 3 different techniques with these versatile inks!!

And to show you EXACTLY how i created it, I have produced a video for you of the entire process!!
