Challenge #224 - Neon

Another 365cards challenge. I thought neon would be a bit of a challenge because I am deffinately not a fan of Neon colours (except for highlighting things.) I set to brainstorming some ideas and thought that it would be less in your face if I did a monochromatic card. Luckily, this flower was sitting on my desk so I had a jumping off point - and went from there. The colours look more neon in real life, but the pink flower centre is neon for sure.
Here's the embelishment in more detail. I am so glad I finally got a detailed shot to work how I had planned it! I have alot of trouble with detail shots, trying to get the camera to focus where I want it to can be a challenge, but occasionally it works out.
I also put some washi tape and border punches to good use and am happy with the result. I will deffinatley try this technique again when I have other big embelishments to use. In fact I have a cool wedding cake that I want to make a card out of and it might work well... I will have to take note and give it a go soon!
