My sister wanted to try some different techniques and Bokeh was one. We used watercolor paper, Picked Raspberry and Mowed Lawn DI on the background. We took our circle punches and acetate punched different size circles in the acetate. Laying this template on our background, we sponged Whisper White ink in the circles. Laughing, we speak in a whisper tone when we use Whisper White!!
Once the background was complete, I took white card stock and Picked Raspberry distress paint and painted three abstract circles. I was going for a rose that had petals with colored edges. I stamped my rose image in black ink over this. I cut out the rose.. When I placed it on the background, I used the green part on the background to stamp my stem image. I stamped two leaves on green cardstock, cut them out and added them under the rose. I wanted to shade a little under the rose so I used Mowed Lawn DI with water and shaded a few areas to make the rose pop out from the background. It needed a little sparkle so a large bling was added to the center of the rose.
Bokeh is a fun technique.
