My friend Pam - Bailmac, has already uploaded her card using the technique of watercolor bokeh. The two of us spent the afternoon stamping together. I thought it would be nice to try the beautiful watercolor bokeh technique. I love the colors that Diane used on her card and tutorial found here on SCS. I tried this twice today, and didn't have the best of luck on either one. I'm not sure what I should be doing differently. Pam's turned out great in my opinion. You couldn't really see the white circles on my watercolor paper, so I went ahead and stamped a cool image. I guess I should give it another try. I will confess one of my faults - I usually just try something once, and if I don't think it turned out I don't deal with it anymore. I know that's not a good way to be if you want to grow or get good at something. Anyway, I said I would post my card, so here it is. Thanks for looking!!
Gotta deal with my pup and dog. They are keeping me busy lately and I haven't had the time I'd like to stamp.

You may not have gotten the exact card you were expecting, but you certainly ended up with a beautiful card. Sounds like you had
a lot of fun too stamping with your friend.
I can see why you spend a lot of time with your dog. Who could resist that adorable face? tyfs

Kim, this is gorgeous. You might have started out with one thing in mind, but it blossomed into something more. Your mixture of colors and images is stunning.....and the way you mounted the main panel. I'm one of those that "moves on". Realistically, my life is more than 1/2 over, so why waste time struggling when I can enjoy doing something that I do relatively well???

Kim this is lovely. I don't know what the technique is supposed to look like ( I will have to check the tutorial tonight after work), but I love how yourcard turned out. Such a gorgeous abstract floral scene. Right into my favs.

How wonderful to have fellow stampers to spend time with. Good for you. Your card has a great contemporary flair with the titled panels and metal w/ribbon at the bottom corner. You worked this w/c beautifully.
