Hi everyone! How are you doing today?
Today I’m sharing a funky card I made for Gel-à-Tins using the Mini Retro Flakes and Mini Fancy Flakes sets!
I still see fireworks when I look at these little flakes! Maybe it’s just me?! But anyway, I’m alright with that when it means I can create cards like this:
How funky is that?! I even managed to sneak in some trends while I was at it – with neon and ombre making an appearance!
I started by stamping my landmarks silhouette using the Hero Arts International Skyline stamp in Versafine Onyx Black ink and heat embossing with WOW! Clear Semi Dull embossing powder. I then stamped all my flakes using Versamark ink and heat embossed with the same powder.
Next I blended my Hero Arts Neon inks onto my card to create that fantastic sky – the flakes and skyline showcase the emboss resist technique to perfection! After that all I did was add the numbers at the top using the Headline Alphabet set and that’s all that was needed! I know it’s been 2013 for quite some time but that doesn’t mean we can’t still celebrate a good year so far, right?!
Well, I’ve still got a lot to do and catch up on even though it’s Sunday, so I’d better hop to it! I would love to know what you think of this card before you get on your way though! Thanks so much for stopping by – please leave some love if you’re feelin’ it!
ETA: I hadn’t noticed before but this card fits in nicely with the Papertrey Make It Monday that’s just about to finish(!) but I’m linking it up anyway!

I cannot put those neon inks down. They turned out to be a great investment, no? Love them here on your skyline. Dynamic use of flakes/fireworks with a sunset. I like to think of them as flakes on this card … because it's so different to see a sunset with snowfall.
I see fireworks! What a fun card! Great job with the emboss resist/ombre mix- it is perfect!
This is awesome! I love the bright neon colors and the skyline stamp!
The neon ombre is quite fabulous and I love the embossing over top, it looks perfect! Mine never looks that perfect.
In love with it all over again!!
So bright and beautiful! Excellent use of the Neon inks!! Awesome design all around, Taheerah!
definitely feeling the love for this card! love the colours, love the ombre, love!
I have that skyline stamp by Hero Arts and very nearly parted with it. However, I just don't think I can do it after seeing this cool card! 😀
Hugs!
