Bokeh, Bokeh
Talk about a fun technique. The bokeh (BOH-kay) technique is a photography term. The lense of the camera blurs the background with circular highlights to focus on the subject. Or something like that. The background is first sponged randomly with three colors of ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock until the cardstock is completely covered. To make the circles, make a template using Window Sheets and the 3 smallest circle framlets. Then use a sponge dauber with white craft ink to add the circles.
This is so cool and your card is like snowflakes. No one card is alike. Note how the bling pulls your eye to the sentiment. Its awesome!

Tree Swings
My Aunt Ruth had a tree swing hanging from a huge shade tree on her farm. As a youngster, it's one of the things I liked to do when I visited. Do you have any fond memories of a tree swing? If so, this card will bring them back. A quick and easy card to whip up for someone that's been on your mind.

The summer is here and the temperature outside makes me want to relax on a beach, read a good book & sip on something cool. OK its a nice thought but not realistic. So I'll just stay home in the cool air and make a card that reminds me of a beach. Be real & stay cool!

How cute is this card! I'm not the biggest punch art fan but this guy really caught my eye. We made this for card for Laurie's Line UP! and at a recent stamp camp.

Lotus Blossom
The Lotus Blossom stamp set is a beautiful triple stamp set that can be used with one or multiple colors of ink. It is gorgeous either way. I've seen it all over Pinterest and just had to give it a try. Any sentiment will work with this card for many occassions.
