| A tasty celebration |
For the past week, I've been alternating between doing First Day Covers, my first of the year, and a new fruit jar that I've been working on since the first of the year. I can't seem to stay away from it, although I know I need to be doing the covers just to support my old paper habit if nothing else.
I worked on a neon sign for the new Neon Celebrate Forever stamp, but to do the neon proper, it really takes a stark, very dark background to properly display it in all of its brilliance - fully lit. After four days of struggling with it, I came up with what you see. A small little celebration with neon sprinkles, which I promptly ate after I took a few photographs. Yum.
Be sure you stop by Beth Niquette at The Best Hearts Are Crunchy for more delectable delights of the Eye Candy variety. You won't be disappointed as she hosts another Postcard Friendly Friday.
Good choice, Dave, of a reasonable multitude of colors on the cover but still with a lighter, subdued overall color impact, not to overshadow the stamp.
ReplyDeleteNice creation!

Dave - lovely piece.
ReplyDeleteDare I say great minds think alike? I just took this cupcake photo yesterday:

ReplyDeleteI like cupcakes and while not as fond of the "sprinkles" on cupcakes made at our house (they are always hard as rocks)I love cupcakes. I think they are nourishing, and have plenty of body goodness.
ReplyDeleteWhen I used to do envelopes, I did black ones using an Indian Ink made for fountain pens and brushed it on. It was like "flat" black.
Very realistic as always Dave. Such intense colors. My favorite color on her is the intense blue inside the paper cup folds just below the icing.
