Celebrate Bokeh
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: swldebbie

 Nothing like being a little late to the party. Okay, REALLY late to the party.

As I was going through my Lawn Fawn sets dividing them into sell, keep, decide piles, I came across a set that included several differently sized circle stamps. It was the perfect inspiration to get me to FINALLY give the bokeh background technique. I love the look, but I'm so "random placement" challenged, I've been a tad intimidated to try.

I pulled out one of the distress oxide ink blended backgrounds I had made awhile back and used Hero Arts white pigment ink to create my bokeh dots.

I took 2 of my celebrate die cuts - one in matte black and one in white glitter card stock and layered them such that the black "shadow" just peeks out a little behind the white glitter layer.

Assembled my card and called it done.

I liked how this turned out so much, I ink blended another panel and made a second card.

Oh, Debbie, your bokeh background is so beautiful - it came out PERFECT! The glittered and shadowed sentiment looks fabulous with it, too!
