Bokah

My first attempt at linking a challenge. House of Cards May challenge I hope this passes muster because I used serif to create my bokah effect. I created it by "painting" a lilac background and adding a white circle that I "faded" by varying depths and sizes and "stamped them over the top. I cut out the inner part and mounted it onto white card and then matching up the circles (as best I could) laid it over the top. The text I then set on a "pre- set" path and added a Spellbinder Les Papillon butterfly. It hasn't photographed very well, it's a bit more lilac than this. To me it looks quite grey



See you all Tuesday

  2. Hi Karen,

    Beautiful card, sorry I did not get back to your question I have been away but it seems you have got there anyway. It does look Grey rather than Purple but its still gorgeous. It does give an effective look to our creations doesn't it?

    Love & hugs

  6. Hi Karen
    Looks grey on my screen too but that doesn't detract from your great bokeh effect.

    Best wishes.
