#TGIFC113 A Birthday Bokeh for You

 I am so happy that I FINALLY tried this Bokeh technique! Not sure why I hadn't yet. It's been around a little while, and it's kind of fun!

 

(please click on the sketch above to visit the TGIF Challenges Blog to be inspired by the rest of the team and to play along!)

 

 There are a lot of ways to do this technique. You can use a preprinted Designer Series Paper, you can watercolor your background, or what I did – I just sponged my cardstock. You do want to make sure that you use colors that blend well together. I chose Flirty Flamingo, Sweet Sugarplum and Fresh Fig for this one…

 After that, to create this technique, you will need some sort of stencil/template. I used circles, punched from a Window Sheet to create mine. Then it's a matter of using a sponge dauber to build layers of white circles. 

 I knew I wanted to keep it bold and graphic to let the background stand on it's own, so the Happy Birthday thinlit to the rescue again. Seriously – SO VERSATILE! I also have a new favorite on this card. The mini black Sequin Trim!!! So CUTE!
