So I pulled out some inks in aqua and added a few greens, chose 4 of the solid circles in the set and stamped away. Inks are Hero Arts Mint Julep, Soft Pool, Pool, Tide Pool, Splash, and Green Hills and I added my Simon's exclusive Green Apple to the mix. (the card base is also that same color). So far, this is my favorite color from Simon! I used one of my favorite sentiments, from Ali Edward's Simply You. To give the ethereal look that bokeh has, I then covered my stamped panel with a piece of vellum before attaching it to my card base. Unfortunately the vellum doesn't lie completely flat, so the sentiment was almost too muted to read, and so I went back in and overstamped it onto the vellum. Then I added the perfect sequins from Lawn Fawn's Into the Woods collection.
I love how this turned out, and making it gave me a little foretaste of spring! Thanks for visiting me today - hope your week is off to a great start!
Beautiful bokeh effect!
