Hi everyone! I had a chance yesterday to play around with the new technique that is being featured over on The Friday Mashup! It's called Bokeh and you can find the video here. I used this weeks sketch over at Less is More to put it all together.
Regular water color paints and water color paper used to create the background. I ended up making my own circle stencil (even though I have about 3) using some acetate and circle nesties. I spread out the circles on the acetate so that it would be easier to use the dauber and white craft ink. The stencils that I have are all polka dot and I would have had to mask way too many of them. It was just way easier to create my own.
Sentiment is from Wplus9. Ended up adding some black splotches onto this using the Tim Holtz marker spritzer tool. To get the bottom tag to stand out, I sponged some thistle colored ink around the edges. Die is from MFT and I used a rectangle nestie to cut and emboss the main image.
Well, that is it for today. I desperately need to clean up my craft area. Talk about clutter! Ugh!
Gorgeous use of the inks, love the circles and the pretty colours.
