I have been playing at doing the Watercolor Bokeh following the tutorial here on SCS. First the colors came out too light, and the white didn't show up. Then with the dark colors it still didn't show up. But I thought I would use one of my backgrounds for todays WT521 Challenge to Hoop it Up- to use circles. And this is for our Twisted Sister Challenge to use the Bokeh technique. TFL

What a beautiful blend of colors Sharon! I share your frustration with techniques when it looks SO easy in the tutorial! I try and it's a whole different story! Yours came out great and glad you succeeded!

This is so pretty Sharon. I like the colors you chose for the bg and how perfect to just use a sentiment. Really this is my favorite kind of card. I love sentiment card. Great job.

Sharon, I think you're being too critical of yourself - it's a beautiful background. In reality, since bokeh is really originating from the photographic effect, it can be quite light and ethereal. Your card has a lovely soft, light feel to it, I love the colours you used for your watercolour background.
