I did this card for today's Inspiration Challenge, picking this image for my inspiration. I reversed the image, but instead of doing Bokeh I opted to do another whimsical look and painted with acrylic paints. The background is watercoloured. The lamp post is stamped in Jet Black and Sepia and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. The sentiment is stamped in Sepia, and to finish I covered the panel with Distress Micro Glaze, so pretty IRL. You can find close up pics and details in this blog post.
Thank you for looking. aplaceforkia

This card is magic, Kia! Our street is lined with twinkling colored lights just like this. Almost all the porch lights in our neighborhood are gas lamps (which I love). The soft warm glow is captured in your coloring. Beautiful card!

Kia, your inspired Christmas card is so beautiful! I love the lantern and its glow along with the fabulous tree branches. I love the micro glaze; it brings the colors to another level! Hugs!
