happy Monday!
let's start this week off with a NEW challenge over at the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!
yay!
ooooo, so gorgeous, right? I loooooove all of the photos! and I love the subdued color palette, too!!! just winning all around!
eeeeep! love it!
I used the Let's Bokeh stamp set to create a bokeh background! what fun!
I started by ink blending the background in Chipped Sapphire, Seedless Preserves and Milled Lavender Distress Oxide Inks! then I splattered some water on the background!
once it was dry, I did lots of heat embossing! a LOT of heat embossing! I stamped the circles in various sizes all around, and then either heat embossed it in Clear, Sparkle Clear or Pearl clear! oooooo!! ha!
then I heat embossed part of the sentiment in white onto some vellum, and fussy cut around it! I finished the card off with sequins all over, too!
I really can't WAIT for you to play along! you could win a $25 gift certificate to Lawn Fawn!!!!
enjoy!
it's me again! and i have another card to share!
it's a two-for sort of day! :)
anyway, i made this card for the super AWESOME a blog named hero challenge!
it's about bokeh - LOVE THAT!
so yes, i was super stoked to try my hand at that technique again, so i HAD to play along! :)
here's my card! :)
i used one of my favorite wooden stamps ever - silly scape!
i stamped it onto my card panel and then shaded in with some cool grey copics, for a little extra umph!
the sentiment is from an oldie (but a goodie!!) stamp set - woodland creatures (serisously, one of my first stamp sets, still love it!).
and oh yeah - the bokeh! let's talk about that shall we?
i stamped three different sized small circles in two different inks, and then added some yellow splatters from a mr huey's. finally i added some wood veneer circles to add to the bokeh! to me, the bokeh is all about different sizes, overlapping, and diferent shades of the same color. but that's totally just me! :)
anyway, that's my card!
thanks and enjoy!
