Hi, friends! I'm back with a card for this month's challenge at House of Cards--bokeh! If you've never tried this, you totally should! I LOVE it. My first card (the one in this post) didn't turn out as nicely as I would have liked, but I'll be back throughout the month with other cards I made using this fun technique! Come and take a peek at my card today...
This background was created with Faber Castell ink and a watercolor pen. I then daubed the background with white ink and even some Wink of Stella pen.
The sentiment I used is from The Stamps of Life, from the upliftingwords2hear stamp set. I layered my panel onto some Licorice cardstock to help the colors POP more, and added some sequins.
I then added my panel onto a card base that had been prepped with come paper from the Love Story Collection Patterned Paper Pad. The base was made from Gingersnap cardstock. I do like this, what do you think? I'd love to hear in the comments below!
Thanks so much for stopping by today, friends! I hope you come and join us at House of Cards this month, and stay tuned because I'll be back during the month with two other cards I made using this fun technique! Until then, HUGS and happy stamping! :)
Gorgeous background Mynn.
ReplyDeleteFun technique Mynn! I'll definitely have to give this a try. I love the sentiment and sequins. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteHi Mynn. I almost forget you everytime since you link is above the cards and not in the list Hehehe.
ReplyDeleteThis bokeh effect has been fun and I realized I have used it before together with stamped images I have colored and then used this to make a back ground for the stamp. Your cards are lovely and that sentiment is stunning.
Fun to see what you other girls have made.
