Cards using Bokeh effect Backgrounds.



Welcome back to my blog

Today I am sharing with you something I tried for the first time yesterday. 
It is the Bokeh Effect. Something used by photographers regularly and can be achieved with ink on paper by layering colours and circles.
I have made a little tutorial for you , so you can also try this if you are feeling inspired.
As I have made a tutorial I haven't added much in the way of descriptions.


I have entered one of these cards in to Jessie Holtons #CTC008 weekly challenge
(Orange colours 'Happy Birthday')



Here is a group shot of all the cards I made using my Bokeh backgrounds

I used two different colour tones for each Bokeh effect and used those same colours for the cards bases and layers.


'Hello You'
