Have you seen the new neon colours that were recently released by Dina Wakley Media, Ranger Ink? I have them all and I love them. They are sold in the same small bottles as her other colours, very handy and I do not have to worry that they will dry out. When I go to scrap meetings, I can bring them all easily.

I was surprised to see just how much they pop and brightens the page, they are so vibrant and bright. I like to combine them with black and white to get a distinct contrast.

On these two art journaling spreads I have used media tape to get the frames.

I make sure to save the tape so I can use it on new projects.

This time I used them on a tag as a colourful detail.

Finally I used the neon colours on a water colour paper to make these two. I would like to frame them and put them on my wall. I just have to figure out if I should separate them into two different art works or keep them together.
