I've not had much experience with the Bokeh stamping technique... my husband takes gorgeous photos with incredible Bokeh effects, however. With a few viewings of Dawn's video on YouTube, I think I was able to come up with a pretty acceptable effect of my own, for the CAS Mix Up Bokeh Challenge for January 2019! See if you agree... OH and I used this darling Pantone 2019 photo as my inspiration...
- Bokeh - check
- Stamping - check
- Heat embossing - +1 check

Wow Michelle, what a beautiful effect with the bokeh and love the mermaids tail :)
Such a pretty Bokeh effect with lots of bubbles, Michele! I love the way you placed the mermaid fin - she's coming up to the ocean (or Little Black Lake!) surface to say hello, right? Gold and Coral is a perfect color combo too.
Thanks for sharing this beauty at CAS Mix Up!

As the sentiment says "It's fin-tastic!", Michele.
Ummmm.... wow!! This is fin-tastic Michele!! Your bokeh technique is pure purfection. ;0)
Wow Michele, I am so loving your bokeh card! It is so cute with the mermaid tale-loving the mermaid tale. Your bokeh turned out so pretty too. I've not tried this technique, but just might have to give it a go. I need a thank you card, so it might be the perfect time to try it out. Hugs, Brenda

Myohmyohmy.........I wouldn’t know where to start to make such a fabulous card never mind FINishing it so beautifully!
So gorgeous, Michele! Love that coral colour - so perfect with that mermaid tail. I'm going to have to check out that video. I haven't tried the bokeh effect but I love how it looks.
Yes!! Bokeh bubbles are perfect for your mermaid!
I hope my back doesn't break from bowing!! wow girl this card is so amazing I .... wait.... I need to bow again!! Dang!
Your mermaid's tail is the perfect image for your beautiful Bokeh background, Michele! I love your soft color palette, especially the lovely coral to showcase those 'fabulous' bubbles! You rocked it once again, my friend...Thanks so much for playing along with us at the CAS Stencil Challenge!
Stunning!! You really rocked this one! Fabulous choice of image to use with the bokeh technique and those gorgeous colors!
Bubbles for water, well duh. But in coral... genius!
Fabulous Bokeh Background Michelle.... might be using my mermaids tail in a similar fashion as I really like this! Thanks for joining in at CAS Mix Up!

Wow, what a special approach to the Bokeh. Love this colour combo too. Definitely a FIN-tastic card with the gold embossing. A beauty!
Thanks for joining us at CAS Mix Up! xx
Oh this is so cool! Keeping the bokeh to a framed area keeps the card beautifully CAS but also perfectly detailed.
Perfect!
