Bokeh Background for SUO114

DSC_0564w

One of my club projects this month aligned perfectly with the current challenge at Stampin’ Up! Only.  The theme is dots, and I used Whisper White Craft Ink dots to create a bokeh effect.  Bokeh is defined as the way a camera lens renders out-of-focus points of light.

My design was inspired by Tanja Kolar’s card that I saw on our demo website.  Her card was done in blues and greens – also a very pretty combination.  Try this with your favorite colors.  I played with several colors before I decided on my background colors, Crisp Cantaloupe and Wisteria Wonder.   I used sponges to add these colors to a Whisper White mat for the background piece.

I used a dauber and a mask to add the white circles over the background color.  The mask is a piece of Window Sheet cut with the three smallest circle framelits.

The greeting is from the “Crazy about You” and “Hello You” thinlits bundle on page 31 of the Occasions Catalog.  You can make so many greeting combinations with this bundle – love it!

Thanks for checking out my card – you can see more entries in this challenge at SU-Only Challenges.
