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! Our current promotions: Linking up with: CAS Mix-up challenge - bokeh...

Cure for the Monday Blues

Taheera can really get you hooked on her Cure for the Monday Blues challenge with her gorgeous inspiration pictures! I was intrigued by those pink bubbles and immediately thought "Bokeh" with sprinkles.... It is actually quite easy to achieve this. The only draw back is - its time consuming.... You make a watercolor background - very wet - needs to dry first. I found a wonderful blog by Paula - Stampinantics  where she describes how to do just that. You can visit her and see how its done ;) The die cut sentiment I tripled up -its by Simon Says, so is the stamped sentiment. Added lots of heart sprinkles Taheera has a great give away on her blog - she is the leading lady at Winnie & Walter and they are also having a birthday bash! Go and visit! Since I have a watercolor background I am also linking my card with Happy Little Stampers Just us Girls  - stencil (made the dots with a stencil) Simon Says Wednesday challenge - Something New - new...
