For my card, I first sponged white craft ink on the Crumb Cake card base. Then I used the smallest flower stamp from Taylored Expressions Garden Party Blooms set to stamp the Bokeh background with white craft, Pool Party, and Sahara Sand inks.The larger flowers from Taylored Expressions Happily Ever After set were stamped with Versamark, embossed with white embossing powder, cut out, and popped up with foam tape. The leaves from the same set were stamped with Pool Party, cut out, and adhered with glue dots, and the sentiment, also from the same set was stamped on vellum with Memento Rich Cocoa and the edges were sewn on...the pearls finished it off. TFL and I hope you can play along with us in this weeks TLC!!!

What a special card this is Joan!!! I have yet to see anything like this. Such a soft muted bg, and all done with this bokeh technique. Your leaves and popped up flowers add just the right amount of interest, and the sentiment done on the vellum was a great idea!! :>)
