Hi Everybody,Todays card is created by playing around with Distress Inks to create this Bokeh Effect background for my card.
This is a technique that has been around for ever and it is very easy to do.
Translated Bokeh simply means Blurred and it is a photographic term.
Have you ever looked at a film, a photo or a magazine page when they have all the lights in the background blurred and running in to each other? Well that is Bokeh
The sentiment is stamped onto a Classic Circle and then mounted onto Spellbinders Symbology Frame
I have simply turned the orientation of the frame around for a different look
Around the sentiment I have added in some faux stitching and tucked some silver twine behind it
Then I dotted sequins around the card and mounted the panel onto black card before adding to my base.
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
That looks like fun to play with, looks good

A very different card today - you make it look so simple - I have a feeling that if I try this I'll end up with a splodgy mess!
ReplyDeleteLoving the effect of this Christina! As an amateur photographer, I am aware of the Bokeh effect but never thought to translate that into using inks for the same result! This is so pretty and effective and I love the colours that you used for this! TFS with us!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
