Today's challenge is to do the Bokeh Effect.
Bokeh is actually a photography technique that is a blur or an out of focus area of the image. We can mimic this effect by doing something pretty simple for stampers...stamping off. Yup...a little sponging and stamping off and you have created a beautiful background or main image!!!
I took watercolor pencils and scribbled colors on my paper, then used a brush to take water and blend the colors. Used several stamps to make my background, stampin' off with each one.

Vicky, clever you to use watercolor pencils and water to achieve the Bokeh effect....really turned out spectacularly. Your sentiment is a wonderful one too.
