Card : Bokeh Wishes

This is my first attempt at a Bokeh technique card; the youtube tutorials make this look easy but beware, dear reader – it’s not! 🙂

Method

I used a heavy water colour card and added Ultramarine, Brilliant Green and Sunshine Yellow colours to the card front and let it dry.
I used some circle dies to create a handmade circle stencil and daubed in white pigment ink on the card front to create a diffused look.
The sentiment was stamped with black pigment ink and the card was cut to just under an A6 size.
When I placed the card front on the card blank it looked too tone on tone so I created a black border.
First I outlined the beige card blank with a black Sharpie and then added black glitter on it by adding double sided tape on the Sharpied outline.
The card front was then adhered to the blank with double sided tape.
