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.

Blackberry is Bliss
I love the color combination of Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey. Paired together their presence is stunning. We stamped the flower on the inside of the card and the envelope.

Dahlias Personified
The stunning color combination of Burmuda Bay and Basic Black make an elegant card. Dies by Dave gives the Dahlia a unique persona. Don't forget to stamp your envelope too.

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!
