Following Lisa Young's technique found here:http://addinkandstamp.blogspot.com/
I tried the Bokeh technique behind the owl. I need lots of practice and next time will try it like Lisa did with different sizes of circles.
I stamped and colored the owl then cut it out with the die. I embossed suede paper then cut the branch from it. I took watercolor paper and wet it with water then added ink and let it run together. When dried, I added the white ink circles with the dauber. Once dry I layered everything. The chalkboard was made by writing on black paper with the Stampin' Chalk Marker then hitting it a few times with the embossing buddy. It sure makes a lot of dust!

I think your bokeh turned out pretty well! And your owl is just adorable. Your chalkboard sentiment turned out great too - sounds if you almost created as much dust as the real thing, LOL.

LOVE that bokeh BG! That owl is pretty darn cute, too. Thanks for going Old School with me this week!
