This week's technique challenge was to use the Bokeh effect which I have done with my bg panel. This week's colours are Regal Rose, Certainly Celery & Bermuda Bay - I don't have Bermuda Bay so used Tempting Turquoise instead. I don't get dessert this week as I have no words of wisdom added.
I used markers to colour main image and sponged with Regal Rose and added the pearls. Adhered to some retired SU dp and Regal Rose c/s. Used this luscious pink velvet ribbon I just bought at a local gift store.
Thank you so much for looking!
Edited: Just came back to say my velvet ribbon is a much softer, prettier pink than has shown up in the photo!!

Sue, this is lovely. Coloring your stamp with markers gives you precise color placement. You've inspired me to try it. Love how you did the "blurry" flowers on the bg panel for the bokeh effect. Well done....and beautiful too.

Sue, this rose is beautiful! The Bokeh bg is wonderful, with the light stamping and texture! As for not getting a good photo, it happens to all of us that don't own the photo shoot cubes!

Beautiful work with the colors of the day. I love the bg you created with the blossoms. Great coloring and intensity on that colored stamp, it turned out so bright and vivid. Love it!
