Bokeh Wishes for CAS Mix Up Reminder

Hello friends.

There’s still time to join in at CAS Mix Up.

My Mixed Media are: Bokeh, Stenciling, Brusho, Watercolor, Stamping and Die Cutting

This month’s challenge is hosted by Nancy
Sadly this is Nancy's last post as a Designer for CAS Mix Up.
We will miss her here but we'll still be seeing her over at CAS Stencil.

I pulled out a background using Brusho crystals and sponged white ink through a stencil.

After I die cut a circle for this card, I had a little piece left and used that
as well as the bit of stem I'd cut from the bottom of the flowers and
have a twofer.



I'm also joining in at our new sister challenge
I have sponged with white ink through a stencil.

The CAS Mix Up Design Team, including our fabulous Guest Designer, Viv have
some more wonderful inspiration pieces for you.

Hope you'll  join in the fun at CAS Mix Up.
Challenge ends on the 24th.


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Your first card is so happy with the bright blue background and cheerful daisy flowers, Bonnie! And so wonderful you could get a twofer with your beautiful bokeh background! xx

Mac Mable said...

Such vibrancy in those blues and the white die cut against it looks so pretty and fabulous to get the two cards. Beautiful cards, both of them x

Marcia Hill said...

Two fabulous cards, Bonnie. The colours and designs are beautiful. xx

Viv said...

Two fab cards - the daisy one brought a smile to my face and I think the second one is absolutely gorgeous!

Bobby said...

I love those blues framed up like that, Bonnie. It's odd/wonderful how the two pieces give a totally different bokeh look.

Brenda said...

Beautiful cards Bonnie! I am loving that daisy die, daisies are just my favorite, but love all flowers. Your bokeh looks so beautiful in the blues. Loving the twofer too! My favorite though is the daisy one. Hugs, Brenda

Jo said...

Both are truly beauties. You daisy card is simply my fave. The white against that amazing aqua colour Bokeh just makes those die cuts pop. And of course, your framing is spectacular to me, love it! xx

JoAnn said...

Both cards are so pretty. Love the blue backgrounds. It makes those lovely white diecuts really pop with the white frames. TFS

Thank you Bonnie for your kind words. I have Loved being on your CAS Mix Up Challenge and will be playing often. So much fun being a CAS'ette:-)

So clever of you to make two bokeh cards out of your one background and one die cut flower. I love your framing for both cards, gorgeous bokeh background and die cuts. TFS my friend. Hugs..Nancy

Nstiz said...

These are terrific, Bonnie. I love the brilliant blue you chose as a background for your crisp die cuts. Love that the daisies don't even look like paper. They look more like they were formed in a mold. Beautiful!

Oh Bonnie what a beautiful pair of cards - love the blue and white, and how you have used the off cuts of one card to make a second that looks so planned and perfect
Blessings
Maxine

Sandy said...

Yes, I am still on your love all that you make list!!

BożenA said...

Yes I like the bokeh technique. It looks like flashing lights. Your background is also flickering, and blue, my favorite

Brilliant to create a twofer from the leftover piece, Bonnie. Both are beautiful in my favourite blue colour! Always love how you incorporate frames in your designs. xx

Cathy said...

Gorgeous cards Bonnie, love the blues with the crisp white diecuts and the bokeh effect is so pretty in the background, Cathy x

Barb Ghig said...

Two gorgeous cards, Bonnie! Your first card is so cheery with those sweet blooms and I love how you placed the stems inside your rectangle frame on the 2nd card! Beautiful stenciling on your Bokeh pattern, too...Love them both!
So happy you joined us at CAS Stencil!

Sue said...

What a gorgeous shade of blue you have used for your bokeh background, Bonnie. A perfect background for the pretty flowers, such a clean and fresh look. Thank you for sharing at CAS Stencil!

Robyn Oliver said...

Two wonderful cards Bonnie, love the bright colour combination on your daisy one - the white with the blue is so crisp showing off the bokeh effect beautifully, just love that daisy die and the yellow centers making it a real eye catcher... I love using the left over bits and your gorgeous die cut is perfect with the blue Brushos/Bokeh background

Papercraft Boutique said...

Bonnie, your first card is very cheerful and the blue Brusho Bokeh background and the white crisp daisies are so pretty! The second card is so refreshing. You used the left-overs so well that I wouldn't have guessed it without reading your explanation. Love your wonderful CAS design.
