Can you believe it is October ! Must have been the quickest Summer in history ! Anyway, a new month always means a new challenge over at Country View Crafts and today is no exception ! The theme this month is Bokeh. People who are into photography will know it came from there. It is described as follows:
In photography, bokeh is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens. Bokeh has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light".
In papercrafting it is usually achieved with circles and ink and that is what I have done too:
Of course I have filmed the process for those of you that are interested in how I made this. You'll find the tutorial HERE or you can click on the pic below:
We would love you to participate in the challenge ! You could win a £20 voucher for the shop. You'll find all the information about the challenge HERE.
Thank you for stopping by today !

Hello Corrie, I absolutely love this card! The colors are so cheerful. I do have a random question, what is the surface you are working on? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Lee Ann, for Distress Inks without water like here I used a brandless 250 gsm card stock. Hope this helps.
