Pear Pizzazz #2
#ColorCoachJourney
Hi
I've been on a Bokeh technique roll recently and with this card I wanted to experiment with sponging a second colour over the top and stamping a background. If you would like to look at my other Bokeh cards, just click here.
I used the Color Coach colours of Pear Pizzazz and Pool Party for my watercolour wash background and sponged Whisper White Craft ink and Smoky Slate Classic ink over as my bokeh dots.
I stamped in all three colours using the Flowering Flourishes stamp set to make a unique piece of patterned paper.
I was inspired the 'Thank You Card" theme at Just Add Ink and also by this sketch from Always Playing With Paper (I mirrored the sketch):

I coloured my Jewel Rhinestones with the darkest Smoky Slate Blendabilities marker - it makes them look vintage....you should try it! They look amazing!!!
