Butterfly & Bokeh.

Hi everyone, I finally managed to try the bokeh technique.

First time for me and it was lots of fun, I do think I need to get a new white inkpad though as what I have was no longer very white!

I blended some antique linen, bundled sage and shabby shutters distress ink together then used a finger dauber to sponge some white pigment ink through a bubbles stencil. I wanted some larger circles so also used a retro circles stencil.

The butterfly was inked in versafine, clear embossed, fussy cut and coloured with Inktense pencils.

I'm linking up to the CAS Mix Up Card Challenge.

My elements are bokeh, stamping, fussy cutting, wet embossing and watercolouring with Inktense pencils.

Since I've used sponging and a stencil I'm also linking to the CAS Stencil Challenge.

The theme is sponging, nice and easy!

The Paper Players has a crazy about critters theme.

At Simon Says Work it Wednesday the theme is to try something new.

I'm also linking to the challenge at Craft Stamper Magazine, where it's anything goes as long as you've used hand stamping on your project.

Supplies:

Distress ink, versafine ink & clear embossing powder; Darkroom Door butterfly stamp; Nellie Snellen bubbles stencil; Stamplorations retro circle stencil; Inktense pencils; Versacolor white ink;

Happy Little Stampers sentiment stamp from doodled flowers set; hammered card base.

Thanks for visiting,
