Stampin' Up! Australia - Color Coach Card #98 - Butterfly Basics Bokeh

Garden Green #2

Hi

Welcome to this week's Create with Connie and Mary  Thursday Challenge!

This week's challenge is a sketch challenge so I am using some Color Coach colours - Garden Green, Melon Mambo and So Saffron.

Now, those that know me well know that I LOVE the Bokeh technique....my first card with this technique was this one back in August 2014 and I have created dozens more since then....it is a highly addictive technique!

Here's our sketch:

...so I flipped it and the dots and background patterns became my 'bokeh' details. 


I hope you like my card! The recipe is below.

Stamp - Butterfly Basics
Ink - Garden Green, So Saffron, Melon Mambo, Whisper White Craft Ink
Cardstock - Very Vanilla, Watercolour paper, Melon Mambo, Garden Green, Vellum
Tools - Big Shot, Butterfly Framelit Dies, Melon Mambo Blendabilities (discontinued since I made this card), Stampin' Dimensionals, Scallop Ribbon Border Punch
Accessories - Pearls 

I hope you will join in and create a card with us.....and please feel free to leave me and the other CCMC participants some comments! :)

Cheers

    So pretty! Love how the background looks like the butterfly is floating in dream land! I really need to give this technique a try! Looks very interesting!

    What a beautiful girly kind of card! I never would have thought to combine these colors - color coach or not. Love the Bokeh technique and it is a perfect combination with butterflies!

    This is a gorgeous bokeh background - pretty enough to stand alone, but adding the butterfly really adds to the wow factor! Really breathtaking!

    I love the ethereal background you created for your butterfly with the bokeh technique and I'm surprised at just how well the Garden Green works on this card - it gives your layered butterfly a real pop.
