We are expecting some snow this weekend, and I am looking forward to it. I have yet to have my snow pancakes. If I wake up to snow on the ground, I like to make pancakes. Since we visited Vermont last fall, I have real Vermont Maple Syrup for those pancakes. Hubs does not like a sweet breakfast so I rarely make pancakes.
I looked to three challenges for inspiration today. Frozen is the cue word over at Casology and CAS Mix it up has bokeh, Stamping plus my choice ( I colored and diecut.) The CAS group has a new challenge - Stencil the prompt is sponging.
I already entered at CAS Mix it up, but I used Bokeh patterned paper previously. This time I made my own Bokeh backdrop roughly blending Distress Oxide inks in faded jeans, broken china, peacock feathers, salty ocean on a panel; then used a fingertip sponge dauber with Hero Arts Unicorn Pigment Ink to make my bokeh blurs through a stencil with varying sizes of circles.
Thanks so much for visiting.
Such an adorable card and the bokeh effect is stunning. Wonderful colours and great that you did the bokeh this time, instead of the paper and what a fabulous job you've made of it. Cute die cut penguin too. Thank you for joining in the CAS mix up challenge again with is beauty and enjoy your pancakes X
