Hello Dahling..........FMS153





The watercolor wash background really came to life on this card with a bokeh effect.  Using a sponge dauber and circle stencils I applied white craft ink randomly across the watercolored panel.  I loved the finished effect so I kept the stamping very simple and using just black ink with a few scattered sequins for sparkle.

Someone I know doesn't need any sequins to sparkle.....Miss Emma donned movie star sunglasses to take a ride in her new red wagon..........Hello Dahling!

  13. I'm sorry to say that you haven't really broken up with watercoloring. Maybe just a little break from each other and you'll be back. Because this is really great! And I love little miss spectacular in her wagon!

  14. Girl, you have mastered the Bokeh technique! This is amazing! I don't know if I'd have wanted to add anything to cover up the base piece, but again, you've mastered perfect placement and using the right tools and accessories. Love how you used the stamp for the bottom panel to let the background show through. Simply stunning!

  15. Theis turned out great, Linda. That Bokeh is so fun to do and makes for a stunning effect.

    I hope Emma doesn't get obsessed with sunglasses like Laila is. She's napped in hers quite a bit. lol
