The new trend……Bokeh!

Hello; Dear Reader, i hope that you are well? Its very gloomy here i am wondering where the sunshine of the weekend has gone!? It was lovely over the weekend, i managed to get to sit out on my bench, admittedly in my coat but the sun was warm and i helped {filled out the plant markers} Mr C get the seeds started for the year.
So i have been seeing a technique everywhere lately on blogs and instagram, so i thought i would give it a go.  Bokeh is a photography technique and  has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light". You can recreate this on card with some sponging and a template made at home with acetate.

{inks from SU and Brilliance, stamp from SU, card stock also from SU}
I started with a blank piece of card and swirled on two shades of light blue then added a light lavender type colour.  With the stencil i sponged on white craft ink and white brilliance ink once it was dry i stamped the tree in versa mark and heat embossed it. Finishing off with a sparkly heart.
I hope you like it and give Bokeh a try, that’s all from me today
Until next time

  3. Thank you for the tutorial! This technique does make a beautiful soft background and it looks so pretty behind your tree and sparkly heart. This one definitely looks worth the time to try. :)
