Alcohol Neons - Tim Holtz and Ranger Ink

 Welcome to the newest member of the Alcohol product line from Tim Holtz and Ranger Ink, Alcohol Neons! When I saw these colors I was taken right back to the awesome 80's. I do have some projects that were inspired entirely by my teenage years, but first I'm sharing some cards I made from my experimentation backgrounds. 

This card features some strips of backgrounds I made with Black Heavystock and the three alcohol ink colors. I used the same backgrounds for two cards. This one and the next card. For one of the backgrounds I used the Art Doodle 2 stencil THS142. I applied the Neons through the stencil for one version and then sprayed the stencil with alcohol and pressed it onto the black cardstock for the bottom background. 

The other two backgrounds were made by dropping Neons onto the black heavystock, and pouncing them with with a blending tool, and then a background with all three colors o a blending tool with felt and pouncing it all over the background,

 The sentiment is from Mini Motivation CMS292 from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous.

 

 This version with the backgrounds features a larger piece of the Neons through the Art Doodle 2 Stencil onto the Black Heavystock. 

I really love the way these colors pop on the black.

For the side panels on this one I just used the pounce method paper. 

The sentiment is again from Mini Motivation.

I spent entirely too much time this week trying to get this background to work. LOL I finally just went with Tim's advice, "You get hat your get..." Once I walked away and came back the next day, I decided they were fine...

...and that they fit this sentiment perfectly. The sentiment is from Just Thoughts CMS079 from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous. I stamped it on Velum, then colored it with Neons and matted it with another piece of Vellum. I held it in place and then stiched it to the card. I got it a little crooked.

The background was made by squeezing a line of Neon Inks across the Black Alcohol Ink Cardstock at the bottom, then letting it drip. Once it is kind of dry, add another color, then another until you have a drippy paint background.

Thanks so much for stopping by to see my first attempts with the new Alcohol Neons. Now let’s go have a creative day! 😃
