So Suzy & Crackerbox Stamps - Bokeh Valentine

Hi Everyone,

time to think about Valentine's  Day!
I made a Bokeh background for my card.


Let me show you how I did this:

I used a Clarity Bubbles stencil and my brand new Clarity Brushes - you can get them in the store (click on the link) and started out with a light pink card base.



I brushed with various distress oxide inks


making sure I always move the stencil in a different position.


I used worn lipstick, picked raspberry and abandoned coral.


I took the Swirly Hearts stamp and my Misty and stamped it onto the upper half of my panel - I will be using the lower half for a second card.




I cut the panel in half and added the sentiment (simple Love You)- heat embossed it onto a small die cut black card stock heart. Added small strips of silver metallic Washi tape and glitter enamel dots.



Thanks for visiting!

Brilliant bokeh...never thought about using colored card and inks for bokeh but it works so well. Very satisfying. And you still have a piece for another card. I always knew your were clever.

Gorgeous Cornelia-love the background and beautifully blended. Wow you did a great job with the stamping-I thought it was a die! The extra touch of the silver card is the perfect finishing touch. Thanks for joining Time Out

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
