It's the 28th

of the month and time for Group of seven cardmakers. This month we are making Bokeh cards and I hope you visit the ladies to see what they made.

I made my cards by using blending brushes to add color to card panels. I used white ink through a stencil to create bokeh circles. I added die cuts to the cards and a few sequins. This is such a busy month and I'm short of time and made these very simple. I love how quick they go together and give such a soft background. 

Turns out you can buy a birthday cake and eat it anytime. Nobody checks.












Be kind to one another.

Beautiful bokeh Brenda! (I first wrote fabulous, then I thought it should be an alliteration! and this works just as well! Love the bokeh look, and how simple yet striking for a quick card! Love them both!

This technique has always been fun to play with and both of your cards look fantastic with the black sentiments and stem of leaves. I hope you are feeling well these days and taking good care of yourself.
