Imagine


Hello and Welcome
Here is a card I made last week using a 'bokeh' style of background for these cute little fairies.
I like the look of bokeh, I think it makes for an interesting background.

So I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock and inked it up with some Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio and some Tumbled Glass DOX inks.  I blended all the colours together with a makeup blending brush from the Dollar Store.  I dried it a bit, then using the Circle masks from A Colorful Life Designs, I randomly rubbed on some white Color Box ink over the bkg., creating the circles you see.  I splattered with some water to lift the ink and further add interest.
When the piece was dry, I placed it into my Misti and stamped the fairies and the flowers over the inked background then added the sentiment.
I simply mounted it onto a piece of heavy white cardstock and then onto a white card base.


Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

What a great colour combination Karen and the fairies, flowers and sentiment look great in black over the top, also the white ink has worked well to make the bokeh in the background too. x

Very pretty. I like the stenciling of the white over top. It adds just the right amount of interest to the background. The fairy image is so sweet.
