I have been wanting to do a bokeh background for ages and decided to pair it with this sweet bunny image from Mama Elephant's Honey Bunny set.  I made a rough mask to cover the lower half of the card below the sentiment from the Avery Elle Oh Happy Day sentiment set.  To extend that sentiment across the card, I just used a memento pen.

 

I then used the SSS Lots of Dots stamps set to make the bokeh circles in various warn tones.  The bunny was colored with copic markers and the green below the bunny is some cracked pistachio distress ink. 

The sequins added the perfect finishing touch!  Hope you enjoyed.

Blow out the candles

Lately, I've been ink blending like crazy!  One of the easiest ways to pump out cards is to have a few different stencils and ink blend three or four backgrounds at a time.  Then, pick an image to die cut and place on top.  In this case, I chose these candles from PTI and used silver glitter paper that I colored with a Y38 Copic marker to make an orange hue.

I die cut the birthday sentiment five times and layered them together to get it really dimensional.  I wanted to mimic the polka dotted background so I used gems from Hero Arts to added the same circle effect.

This card would be perfect for a child's birthday and it was so much fun to make.  See you soon.
