Good morning! Heather here to share a card with you this morning! I have been seeing a lot of cards lately that mimic the "bokeh" technique in photography, and wanted to try my hand at it.
I used the solid circle image from Merry and Bright, and used 3 different colors of ink to stamp randomly on a piece of cardstock - stamping 2 times each time I inked to give even more color differences. I die cut a rectangle, then cut it again in vellum to layer over the top. I punched a couple of holes at the top, then threaded the two layers together with some sheer ribbon. I stamped the sentiment from Sparkle and Shine on the vellum with Staz-on ink, then glued some Flat Matte Marshmallow sequins on the vellum to reinforce the "bokeh" effect. Finally, I mounted the entire thing with foam adhesive on my cardbase. Here is a little peak at the stamping under the vellum:
I'd love to hear what you think! Have you tried this technique on a card yet? Or do you want to try it sometime?
