TLC's challenge today is to "Splatter" and the CAS challenge is a farewell to Angie (ohmypaper!) for all she did for the CAS challenges. I remembered some time ago seeing a Bokeh technique done by Angie and her finished card she used a butterfly stamp. Grrr - I really need to do something about my lack of stamps in different shapes ... but I decided to honour Angie by doing a bokeh look card done in the blue's as she had done if I remember correctly. I also did the watercolour wash in the background. I used a die for my butterfly and watercoloured with layers of colour to get the bright orange ... and for the splatter, seeing as I forgot until almost the end I tried flickering with Liquid Pearls - which sort of worked ... I used a really stiff toothbrush, maybe it needs to be softer. In any event - I had fun ... I added the sentiment, sequins and gems to finish. Thanks for looking - and thank you Angie for all you did.
I forgot that I used stickles on the wings of the butterfly.

I have an angle die cut and never think to use it! This card will stick in my memory......not just because of the bokeh technique, but the RED against the blue!!
