Welcome, hope everything's going well with you.
I'm a little nervous that it's Friday the 13th, what with everything going on in the world.
Praying for no additional problems.
🙏
I made some 4x6 art using neon and brown inks, stamps, white embossing powder and rusty gold gear dies. It will go into my 4x6 Art album journal.
Here are the neon inks I used on the background.
This is the very very old Technique Tuesday stamp set I used to stamp the word circles in Versamark, then heat emboss with white powder before ink blending the background.
I used stamps from these Sweet Stamp Shop and Seven Gypsies sets stamped in VersaFine Clair Pinecone ink.
And here are the Sizzix and Trim Craft gear die sets that I used dies from, cutting into gold watercolored card and then ink-smudged with the VF-Clair Pinecone ink.
And final view.
I enjoyed using these long-neglected supplies.
I don't remember ever using the stamps or the neon inks.
I'm surprised about the neon inks because I love these intense colors!
I'll have to use them more often.
The round stamps are beginning to "sugar", so this might be their swan song.
Nothing lasts forever, although I have to say a lot of my supplies are saying Hold My Beer on that, lol.
Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

I have both of those old stamp sets. I also used that 7Gypsies one in a piece I shared last week. That is such a great set of words and phrases, isn't it? And I like the neon too. It's a fun take for gears seeing so many pages are darker and almost vintage. (like my pages for example.) Thanks for sharing this with us at AJJ. I hope you have some nice weather-not too hot, not too cold, rain if you need it, and that you get some music in while you work since there's no Astro games until Sunday. :) Hugs-Erika
Super postcard, I love the neon colours too, makes a fabulous backdrop for your circles...x
What great colors and that sentiment is wonderful! So happy you shared with us at Path of Positivity! ~Katrina
Using up old, almost-forgotten supplies is always such a great feeling! Love the mix of round stamps with gears, and the neon colors just pop!
Hope your Friday the 13th goes by without much fuss! :-)
Love that you brought these 'older things' out today and WOW what a lovely bright page you have for us as a result.
I don't go to stamp shows much at all these days so had no idea on the Neon colours but now you have set me wondering - do I need them? Yours certainly set off the gears in a great way. I hope your round stamps last a bit longer and I love the wordy ones. Always find a use for those.
Thanks Aimselee for joining in again with my theme at AJJ.
Hugs, Neet xx

The background colors really pop! I love the look of all the circular elements on the card - both the embossed and the die cut ones look great together. Thank you for joining us at the Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies challenge with this beauty!
