so, I am also entering it in that challenge too!
As you can tell, at the moment I seem to be addicted to layered flowers and this card is no exception! I didn't know if there was enough of the bokeh panel showing or not, but it's still bokeh . . . right?
Anywho, I dry embossed the base card with one of my favourite embossing folders, American Crafts, 'Woodgrain' and then set about creating my bokeh panel with soft blues and shimmery pearl - which you can't see from the pictures.
I then mounted the panel onto black cardstock a touch bigger to give it a small black border. I then attached my layered flowers and leaves - black leaves are another latest addiction of mine - I promise I will break the mould soon! You must all be getting a little tired with the same look every day! Anyway, thank you all for sticking with it and for all your wonderful comments. I appreciate you all! Without further ado, here are the rest of the pictures.
Supplies used:
American Crafts - Shimelle Woodgrain embossing folder
My Favorite Things - Upsey Daisies
Creative Expressions - Quilled Leaves
Lawn Fawn - Stitched Rectangles
Stampin' Up - Petal Potpouri
This is beautiful!
