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!

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

  9. 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

  10. 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

    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

  14. 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!

  15. 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

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

  21. 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!

  22. 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

  23. 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.
