Our challenge today (F4A309) is to make a card with love or for someone we love, and I think this fits the bill! I'm also using our challenge colors (CC566), and our sketch (SC576) (changed the rectangle to a heart). I used Loll Thompson's saturated watercolor technique to smoosh my bg (wc cs) with our challenge colors (basically it means that rather than swiping your ink on a craft mat before spritzing with water, you drop a few drops from your reinker). You can get more info on Loll's blog here: http://www.stampingwithloll.com/2015...colouring.html
I decided to use the bokeh technique with circle stamps and stencils and pigment white ink, stamped the sentiment, and then finally I sprayed the panel with shimmer spritz for some great sparkle. Used inlaid die cut technique for the embossed heart, and the rest is pretty clear. Oh, stamped the sentiment in memento black so it wouldn't bleed when I spritzed.
Love the watercolor background with the bokeh technique. It's just beautiful, you have really nailed it. Gorgeous colors and the texture on the heart is perfect here. Wonderful design and great take on the challenge! Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at Mod Squad Challenge

Bokeh AND smooshing. You really know how to create a fabulous background. It's perfect for showing off the embossing and bold die cut word. I'm so glad you shared this with us at ATSM this week. Bobby

Your bokeh technique is beautifully done. Such a pretty card!
