Day 5: Bokeh Technique


Happy Friday everyone!! Today's the last day of techniques week! Thank you for reading and joining along. I really appreciated having you as my audience! 

I saved the best and the most elaborate technique for last! 



This technique is called the Bokeh technique. It looks like little water bubbled in the background. It is the perfect background for those simple sentiment cards! 

Instructions: 
1. Use ink refills and pour out two different colors. I used flirty flamingo refill and peekaboo peach refill. 

2. Use a paintbrush and water color paper and fill in the entire paper with both the colors! Mix it up and let it blend. 


3. Finish coloring in the entire paper. 


4. I cut out different circles using a circle thinlit. Use it as a template. Use whisper white refill.



5. Color in the different circles using sponge dauber and whisper white. Use different pressure to have the colors come out differently. 

** TRUST ME- WHEN YOU FIRST MAKE THIS, IT WILL LOOK ODD, BUT LET IT DRY**


The finished product  looks like the background in this card. Use a simple black color and stamp the sentiment. 

Don't Forget:

Day 2: Color Block Technique

Welcome to Day 2 of Techniques Week! We made it through Day 1, I might have ink stains all over my hands, but they are stains of victory....and my husband was suspicious of why I wanted his shaving cream! Oh well, my mysteriousness is part of why he loves me! For Day 2, we're making this beautiful color block background on the card. You see how it just makes this whole card come alive? Step 1: Gather your goodies. You need a clear block ( I definitely recommend the stampin up blocks, they are the only ones this technique really works for). Get a piece of whisper white cardstock and the markers! Step 2: Color your block starting on one end with real red marker.  Step 3: Color with Tangelo Twist, right above the real red. Step 4: Color with yellow marker of choice, over the orange!  Step 5: Color with a blue marker of choice, over the yellow!  Step 6: Get everything away that you don't want getting wet!! and...Spritz the b...

Organized Card Giver Post #2: Prepare to Succeed!

Hey everyone,  If you’re reading this post, it means you’re somewhat serious about the New Year’s resolution to send cards to people you care about. Do me a favor and give yourself a quick pat on the back from me. Starting is half the battle.  Actually, it’s more important to start, than to succeed. People that start something are usually the ones that end up finishing strong. I tend to procrastinate, just like everyone else. But, just like with anything, if I tell myself, just start….just run for 5 mins, just workout for 5 mins, just clean for a minute, I build momentum to keep going forward. Then when the time is up, its not so bad. You can keep going more… That’s exactly what we’re going to do this week. We’re going to start strong. That’s all you need to do for this week. I know the New Year’s doesn’t start until a month from now, but we want to actually hit the ground running as soon as the new year hits. So, preparation is the key here. For this week#1, and...
