Bokeh

Hi There -

I had fun at Peggy's place last week, and got 7 cardfronts colored.  Last night I finshed them up and made them into cards.  

The challenge at CAS Mix UP is Bokeh + Stamping + one other technique.  I used some die cutting on the edge of my card.



After stamping and coloring my card front, I used a curved scalloped die to cut the bottom edge.  I used a patterned paper that has a bokeh look to it under that scalloped edge. 



The second card I am showing also has that bokeh paper and a touch of sponging off of a hill stencil to give the sled a place to run.

I'm going to give that bokeh technique a try and post that later on.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

What sweet images, Cat, and colored beautifully! I hope you'll try the Bokeh technique. It's lots of fun and your paper shows how pretty it is. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!

Cute winter images, and I do really like how just a hint of patterned paper is seen in each of the cards. Very nice design.

Two really cute winter cards, Cat! Love the use of bokeh pp on these and the shading you did! Hmm, didn't think about it being okay to use bokeh paper ... must have a flip-through, as I've never successful done the technique! Thanks! Hugs, Darnell

Both cards are very cute, Cat! The curved scalloped edge is a fun design element. The way you used the Bokeh paper is great. I hope you'll try the technique and make your own Bokeh paper if you have a chance. Thanks for joining us at CAS Mix Up!

Hi Cat, so pleased you joined CAS Mix Up with your really cute snowman and penguin friends playing in the snow. Loved the die cut scalloped snowbank and your coloring. Your Bokeh DSP looks beautiful and adds so much interest to your scene.

Loved your sweet 2nd Winter card too. TFS and hope you get to try the Bokeh technique with inks. Hugs, Nancy

P.S. I just discovered today that I have some DSP with a Bokeh design. You have me inspired:-)

I recognize that bokeh beautiful paper! Cat, these are just darling... a clear sign that you had fun with your friend! Looks like you little snow friends are standing next to a frozen pond on your first card ... all they're missing is their ice-fishing poles!

Your card is adorable! I love how you placed the bokeh on the bottom layer with that cute edging. It looks great! I also love the cute snowman and cute penguin-so adorable! Your second card is equally adorable too. Hugs, Brenda
