What a fun new technique this is. I'm sure you've seen this Bokeh technique popping up all over the stamping world lately. It's been around forever in photography, and I love that someone figured out how to do it on paper!
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Champagne Glimmer Paper
Stamp Set: Best.Day.Ever (free with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-bration!)
Accessories: Butterfly Framelits, Scallop Tag topper Punch, Pink Pirouette Cotton 1/4" Ribbon, Gold Baker's Twine, Sponge Daubers, Stampin' Sponges, Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder, Big Shot
I started with Very Vanilla cardstock and sponged Pink Pirouette ink randomly all over the paper.
Next I sponged here and there with Rose Red ink.
I used a piece of Window Sheet to punch three size of circle to make a template.
Very lightly, using a sponge dauber, dab White Craft ink onto the cardstock with the template.
We're getting there!
The last step is to use the sponge dauber and a pretty heavy amount of ink straight onto the paper without the template to create bight highlights.
Super easy!! I stamped the Best.Day.Ever stamp on these. It did take a while to dry, I'm not sure how long, I just left them overnight.
