I finished this card just in time to send to a friend for her "Spring Birthday."
The background for this card was made using the "Bokeh Effect Technique". I used an assortment of Distress Inks in pastel colors and sponged them onto card stock. I then used several different sizes of circle stencils and sponged white ink over the surface.
I used the Memory Box "Orchard Tree Frame" die and the Spellbinders Inspire "Bicycle" die.
The tiny little flowers were made from the snippets or the throwaway portions from my Spellbinders "Floral Ovals" die.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
I certainly hope you have a great day and please come back and visit again soon.
Ta Ta For Now,
Kathy

ReplyDeleteHi Kathy, Saw your pretty card at the Snippets Playground, and popped over for a closer look. I am really admiring the way you've interpreted your inspiration, with such a wonderful scene. Love all the pinks & greens against this lovely Bokeh background. That is one fab die. Just became your newest follower (see lots of my friends' faces in the line up too!) so I hope you'll find time to visit me when you can. Always fun to make a new friend. TFS
