This is my sample for the WTUI challenge this week. I'd hoped to make another, but between the holiday Monday and various appointments, I've run out of time.
You'll be able to find the challenge HERE.
I used distress re-inkers on watercolour card to create the background (mustard seed, mowed lawn, squeezed lemonade, peacock feathers) and then used my homemade stencil to sponge the circles in. Die-cut the square, and cut a circle from the centre of it. Stamped the flowers and sentiment on the circle, and then die-cut a circle from foam to pop the circle up with. I used a blue pencil to colour the grass, and and SN clear glitter pen on the dragon pods. I recently stamped and coloured the full set of TH butterflies, and this was the one that looked best on the card. (watercolour paper, Inktense pencils)W

I am truly amazed at how effective bokeh is on the lighter brighter yellows and greens - to date I have only used it over much darker hues. This card exudes happiness!

Sabrina, this is just glorious! I am amazed at how vivid your background is using distress reinkers. Mine always turn out rather muted or "browned down" as I say. The bokeh dots are so beautifully done, and add to the whimsical/magical feel of this card. I love the stamped images you chose here along with this wonderful sentiment and butterfly. I could honestly look at this all day. ~Karen.
