Merry Christmas


I have been having a lot of fun this month with the Bokeh technique... and today I have another card for the CAS Mix Up January challenge.  I went really bold for my Christmas card - using three shades of red Distress Oxide ink to sponge in my background for an ombre effect.  Then using various sized die cut circles as a stencil, I sponged white, dark red and Versamark over-sponged with Brilliant Gold Pearl Ex powdered pigment.  I stamped and gold embossed my sentiment, trimmed my panel and mounted it to white card edged with gold EP, then attached to a white card.  I am also playing along with Happy Little Stampers Christmas January challenge - Anything Goes, and Addicted to Stamps and More #324 - Clean and Simple.
Elements: Bokeh technique, stamping, sponging, stencils, heat embossing, ombre effect
Thanks for visiting, I really appreciate it - happy card making
ps    I am also going to share this at CAS Stencil January challenge -- Sponging.

    So dreamy with the addition of that ombre spotlight inking effect. Love the touches of gold. So Christmassy.

    Amazing card Robyn! Lov the red and gold bokeh. It's so fun to try this technique with different colours. I really have to use bokeh more often. Have enjoyed seeing your creative bokeh cards. Would love for you to add to CAS Stencil as well. :) xx
