Flourescent Colors of Spring

Hello and a very happy Sunday to everyone! In spite of my mentioning to a few folks that the clocks needed to be turned ahead last night, guess who forgot to do her own?! LOL Life is great :)
Here is this week's OWH Stars and Stamps sketch for challenge #112.
And here is the spring-like card I made with it. I spotted another challenge called the CR84FN50 color challenge to use pink, orange & yellow, so I thought I'd combine both challenges into one card.  My flourescent copics just never see enough love, so I pulled them out and colored this embossed panel and added some black mini brads. I've had this piece of flourescent orangy-pink cardstock for a long time, and decided to pair it up with these flowers. Bright is the keyword for today :)
I used a square lattice ef, a SNSS sentiment, a SU! large oval punch, and an EK punch for the sentiment panel. The flowers were embossed with a CB ef.
Mr Linky seems to be on vacation all over blogland this morning, so I'll get this card linked up to the proper challenges as soon as the links become available.
Have a great Sunday and thanks for stopping by!

  15. Beautiful job as always, Carol! I think keeping lots of white on the card makes the neons shine without letting them overwhelm. Thanks for joining us in this week's OWH Stars & Stamps Sketch Challenge!
