CAS Mix Up Bokeh Challenge Reminder

Time for our CAS Mix Up Bokeh Reminder!

Be sure and check out the awesome CAS Cards by our DT and

our very talented Guest Designer, Viv (Viv's Visuals).

My card using Bokeh Technique, Stamping, Die Cutting, Heat Embossing.

I used the same technique as my Bokeh launch card with the help from 

this Create a Beautiful Background with the Bokeh Technique video

by keenan Kreations (6:32).

I began by sponging Stathmore Mixed Media with Distress Inks: 

Scattered Straw, Spiced Marmalade, Ripe Persimmon and Candied Apple.

I was able to get a real saturated background and dried with heat tool.

Next I used Kaiser Craft "Bubbly" Stencil to sponge my different sized circles with

Versa Magic Cloud White pigment ink. Drying often with a heat tool

to avoid smearing, The video is really helpful for this Bokeh technique.

I then die cut the background with 2 sizes of Memory Box Stitched Circle Dies.

I made sure the outer frame matched up with the inner circle.

 I attached Bokeh circle background to my Gemund "Woodland" specialty paper.

Next attached the Alexandra Renke Spring Flowers Dies and Magic Butterfly Die that were a
gift from my dear friend Bonnie. I did use my stylus to give shape to the butterfly.

Placed card front in MISTI and stamped the sentiment with Versafine black ink

and heat embossed with SU Clear EB Powder and Done!

I learned from this background to make the Bokeh circles farther apart,  

which I did with my launch card.  I still need more practice,

but have enjoyed learning the new (to me) technique.

You still have until the 24th to play along.

This is my last month on the CAS Mix Up DT,  but I will still be playing 

along in this awesome challenge by Loll and Bonnie.
