Happy New Year to all my Blogland friends...wish you all stay healthy and happy in this year...wishing you more and more creative and I am so happy to know you on this Blogland :) I made this card for celebrate the 2017 :)
I ever seen a challenge with DOTS and Stripes and it stay on my Brain..also this card include dots and also strips. How I made my Bokeh effect on this card?
I made by my self this circle stencil, then took yellow Distress Ink and sponge it throught the stencil. I used black card base. The Gold Polaroid Frame is from my lovely friend Hazel from Hazel`s Paper Designs , many thanks Hazel for this lovely Glitter Polaroid Frame. I dont used glitter too much.... but it is ok to have it one or two times for card making :)
Here is one more photo of my card, the 2017 is die cutting with silver paper. The white Card base I have stamped with Hero Arts Stripes Background and embossed it with gold embossing powder.

Here is the DT card I made:
Our lovely sponsor this time is:
Prize is : $21 or 7 images from
(for CWS RANDOM Winner)
I must confess I dont have the paint/watercolor or the copic color for this kind of pink, also I took the old pink paper and work with it. Here is what I did:
Die Cutting the pink paper, stamped the glasses then I use this "BELT hole maker" to make some hole on the white paper. I colored the glasses with grey copic.
I Stamped the Dots with two different Ink /the two different grey colors
Then I punched some pink dots, glued it on the cardbase.
Last bur not least I stamped the sentiment from this set (I took the glass also from this set)
TiP: if you dont have the colors to coloring the Images like the photo inspiration, try to look at your old collection of papers, maybe you found the similar color with the one you need.
