Well, I lived, that's about all I can say about this. I could blame it on the fact that I had a reaction to the second Shingles vaccine (I did have a reaction) but that would be giving the vaccine too much discredit. I really struggled with this fold. This was my fourth attempt, you don't even want to know about 1-3, and this one isn't great. It isn't square to itself. Everything was a nightmare about it. I'm a nightmare.
This is for the double dare for the sketch this week, the F4A-the great outdoors (I want to go to Portland, OR to see the Japanese gardens) and this week's color challenge. Also thrown in is the ABC15B2-bokeh technique. Hope you can see that. Used the reinkers of the heather and razzleberry to make a watercolor background, let it dry, then used a larger polka dot stencil with white pigment ink.
All I'm going to say is that people who react to vaccines should not be holding an Exacto knife. Or do much of anything else.

Your bokeh background is stunning! I love the Asian feel you built on it. The filigree is very pretty. Japanese gardens are so serene - just what we need now!
