Hello Sweet Friends! Just popping in with another 'Bokeh' card. I love making these cards, even though they can be a bit messy... this time I sponged ink on the card stock, instead of doing water coloring.
The colors came from Colour Q #280 (with substitution). Originally I was going to cut the butterfly out of gold glitter paper, but the gold didn't look good on the bokeh background... so I scaled it down and just stamped gold splashes... and used a white butterfly...
The sketch was LOOSELY based on Creating Pretty Cards Sketch #44 at Craft Project Central. We have a monthly sketch challenge and I came up with this month's sketch:
If you want to link up your card, you have to use Stampin' Up! products though (as you can tell, I used couple of other products so I am not linking this card up...) Will you play along with me? There is still time to make something... and you could win a subscription to Craft Project Central by participating.
Thanks so much for stopping by,
Monika
So, SO pretty, Monika! And what a perfect take on the sketch! Wow!
