A few weeks ago I was in the Cincinnati, OH area and was able to take a class with my friend Bobbi and my granddaughter at Simply Said Stamps in Loveland (fabulous store by the way!). The class included the Bokeh technique, but could I remember how to do it when I saw the challenge at House of Cards? Of course not! Off to Utube I went. Did I have a circle stencil? No! Did I have any daubers? No! Did I have any water color paper? No! Hmmmm....maybe this isn't the challenge for me! But, I wanted to do it....
A quick trip to Michael's got me some water color paper. They had no daubers and I forgot about the stencil when I was there. So, I made my own stencil and used a piece of a sponge for a dauber. The only white ink I had was a pigment pad in frost white and some white craft paint, so I tried both. The background is made with a new product called Color Burst that I got at a shoppe hop yesterday.
Here's the outcome. Not quite as much white as I wanted, but my handmade stencil wore out.
Oh so pretty! I LOVE that gorgeous butterfly and fabulous sprinkling of sequins! Thank for joining us at House of Cards! HUGS! :) Mynn xx
