Using our butterfly challenge (WT530) and color challenge (CC529). Created a bokeh panel on a piece of cs - I discovered something different this time. After completing my bokeh panel I spritzed with shimmer spritz and not only did it make the whole panel beautifully sparkly, but the white pigment ink just popped out! For this card I thought it made the bokeh look even better! Die cut the “ sending”, the stitched flags, and the butterfly and assembled.

What a beautiful bokeh background, Maura. It's pouring rain here and grey, so it's a joy to see those bright, warm colours - and the beautiful butterfly silhouetted against them.

Maura - sorry about the two blank comments from me above - my computer is hyper-sensitive right now (not sure why).
What I meant to type in those blank spaces was that I think that is the best bokeh background I've seen - it's gorgeous. When I get around to trying bokeh, I'll add the shimmer spritz - thanks for the tip!
