Bokeh Birthday Card with Hot Picks Stamps

Hello everyone, nice to have you here today!

For the Bokeh challenge over at Country View Challenges this month I made again a birthday card and this time I used a PaperArtsy stamp set. This stamp set is so, so cool! It´s the Hot Picks HP1904EZ.

 For my bokeh background I used 4 different shades of pink and purple DI and colored a sheet of watercolor paper.

For the bokeh effect I used again my bubble stencil and a foam of the round ink blending tool with white ink. I overlapped the circles for more interest. Last I framed the card with pink DI.

Time for stamping! I stamped the long numbers stamp some times to my background and heat embossed it with black embossing powder. The main image I stamped on a seperate cardstock, colored it and fuzzy cut it.

The birthday wishes I stamped and embossed on a precolored piece of paper and cut it to size.

Then I assembled everything, I used black lace behind the face - I really love how this looks!

Some flowers and leaves completed my composition.

Here are some close ups: 

That´s it for today! I hope you feel motivated to make a pretty something with bokeh effect for the challenge! You know, you have the chance to win a 20£ voucher for the shop!

Now thank you for your visit and may be you want to come back this afternoon, there I´ll show you another work as a guest at Bleeding Art!

Have a wonderful day and thank you for your visit!
