Bokeh technique at Countryview Crafts

Good Morning! How are you? Bright and early on this new month and there is a brand new challenge over at Countryview. Sue wants you to make something using the Bokeh technique - its like a soft focus technique used in photography that has been adopted by papercrafters. Sue explains more here.

I decided to make a background in distress medium and faux bleach out some circles using a stencil and water. I think its not the best thing I ever did but its okay.


Here's the completed background and I used a pink ink stamp.


Maybe not the best choice of colours for a bee background but defo a fab stamp!


Here's the finished item - cute - not the best bokeh - I will be better for the next one!

You can check out some much better examples and link up here:

    Bleaching the Distress inks with water is unpredictable, some will do it well and some barely... I love the stamps, the big bee is indeed awesome! xx
