The Bokeh Technique is all the rage right now and so I thought I would give it a try last weekend. I haven't perfected the blending but I still like how this card came out.
I used Canary and Cotton Candy ink, applying the ink with a Sponge Dauber. Then I cut a template, with several circles, using some circle punches, and sponged on White Daisy Ink (also using daubers). I applied several coats of the White Daisy ink to give some different hues and for it to stand out. (I love the
White Daisy pad for various reasons.)
I stamped the butterfly from the Paper Bird stamp set and then outlined it with a
Journaling Pen. Both the butterfly and sentiment were stamped in Black Ink but after the background was allowed to dry completely. (The Paper Bird stamp set is only available as a hostess item. You can get it when you collect and/or place a $150 order. Contact me if you're interested and I will do what I can to help you earn it.) It really is a fun stamp!
The polka dot paper is from the
Brushed paper pack and I love it! I added some
Pixie Extra Thick Twine to finish it off. I am definitely going to continue to play with this technique and will share when I do.
If you aren't familiar with the bokeh technique, search it on YouTube and you will find some great tutorials there.
Have a blessed day!
