Hey crafty friends! So hard to believe that it's getting towards the end of April. Spring has arrived here on the west coast of Canada... I'm just hoping it sticks around. Gotta' hate 'fake spring' - lol!
Shirley has picked stencils as the topping for us this week at Seize the Birthday. I used a new-to-me stencil from Lavinia (with 2 different white inks) and also a new-to-me Spellbinders foil plate (shout out to my local-ish craft store - Crafty Capers - where a purchased these). Confession: I made a card for this challenge back in January but looked at it earlier this week and thought "uh nope". Haha. I'm not sure if this counts as 'bokeh'? Oh well, even if not, pretty happy with how this turned out.
Be sure to head over to the blog to check out the stunning creations from the rest of the team, our Surprise Party Guest Leslie and previous winner Claire! Hope you can play along with us - using the topping isn't mandatory but I think the "challenge-chooser" gets an extra warm fuzzy when you do (I know I do!).
Always so grateful for the comments. Thanks so much for stopping by.
Have a terrific day and a wonderful upcoming weekend.
Take care,
Glenda

ReplyDeleteYou should be happy with that Bokeh look as it is just perfect! Green is my go to color if you were to look at my amount of scraps so I really love this too.
ReplyDeleteI have a similar stencil and I call it bokeh, and what better color to play it on than the green of a garden. I love how you used the circle behind your sentiment, too. I hope your spring sticks around. I'd like it to stay awhile here on the Oregon coast, too.
ReplyDeleteLooks bokeh to me. Fun card with the white circles, Glenda Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI think it turned out so pretty and it does look like bokeh to me to. Love the different sizes of white circles on the green.
ReplyDeleteYep looks like bokeh and fab on the green with the dotty texture, fun CAS card Glenda, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteYep, I’d call it bokeh. Love how it’s got the embossed dots too.
ReplyDeleteSure looks bokeh to me! I love the depth you were able to achieve. And green is wonderful. Know why? 'cause it's not purple. ROFL!
