OK. So a while ago I had a fling with neon (for the CUTplorations challenge). And then I ran into neon watercolors at the Creativeworld in Frankfurt. Had to add them to my stash and had a good play with them trying out some hand lettering.
Each time I was done with one color and hand lettering, I added a splash of water to a spare piece of cardstock and dabbed the brush off on it. Had to do something with the panel when it was complete, right?
black and white acrylic paint
washi
I need to remember to let the heavy stuff go as I head to Michigan and my dear Dad whose heart is getting weaker and weaker...

What a dreamy, pastel-neon background, Maria ... it's gorgeous ... and so perfect with that bold black sentiment, such a great contrast! Safe travelling ... thinking of you and your Dad ... and keeping you both in my prayers. Hugs, Anita :)
I love this .... the colours look fab and go so well with the bold sentiment. Thank you for playing along with the Craft Stamper challenge xx
Well said, Maria, let the heavy stuff go. I pray that your time with your dad is a blessing to you both. Your pastel neons are beautiful and that gold washi is such a great detail.
Lovely project, really like the soft colours and how you've put it all together. Thanks for joining in with the Craft Stamper Challenge. Suz Humphreys xxx
I am so sorry about your sweet Dad's heart disease, Maria. Hopefully making your wonderfully artsy background with your sentiment was helpful therapy for you during this difficult time. Love how you did not waste any of your paint. Hugs..Nancy
Stunning card!
Such a lovely soft subtle background Maria. Super simple layout. Thanks for joining us at HLS Watercolour Challenge this month.
What a gorgeous background - wouldn't have guessed that it wasn't totally intentional when you created it. It's the perfect background for the bold sentiment. Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers - Watercolour Challenge.

Hi Maria, this looks simply fantastic, a great idea to try perhaps with the few neon colours I have too. Love it!
Thank you very much for joining us at the bastel-traum Challenge.
