Candlelight

Hello lovely crafters, 
I tried a new technique for this card. There are so many interesting things to try but often I go back to the same ideas. 



This is the Bokeh technique which turned out to be surprisingly easy. I watched a couple of You Tube videos then used a template of my own making. 



I used a white Brilliance ink pad to sponge circles of different colour intensity over the yellow background. Some practice will give even better effects. This inkpad gives a nice shimmery effect but not very white. It's now yellow anyway!

I'd like to know if anyone has a really good white inkpad they can recommend which stamps well?


It's a new month and a new set of challenges at 52CCT. This time Fabiola has a sketch for us. 



I originally made this using the sketch in this orientation but then realised it made much more sense to turn it round. Luckily I realised before I glued it down. 

What have I learnt? It is good to try new things, sometimes they are easier than you imagine but might also result in new purchases!

I hope you have time to join in the challenge and do visit the rest of the DT whose cards are always varied and interesting. 

Thanks for visiting and keep warm. x
