This is my entry for today's sketch challenge - I took the double dare - and today's Alphabet challenge where this week the technique is Bokeh.
I modified the easel card to be a regular A2 size by starting with a 4 1/4 x 11 base and trimming the swing part with a 3/4 border.
For the bokeh background, I started with white cs and sponged Balmy Blue, Pacific Point, and Highland Heather inks on. Then added craft white circles of the top. I love this technique, it gives it such a dreamy effect.
I die cut the large focal snowflake three times with the top layer being white glitter paper and added some of the same glitter paper around the frame. Then I decided that was too plain and added the snowflake sequins.
For my sentiment, I stamped it and then used the Word Window punch in a modified way so it would work with this longer sentiment. I did the same with the Modern Label punch used to mat the sentiment - which is popped up with dimensionals.
Thanks for the challenges and thank for looking!

How cool is this. I love that big snowflake you used over your lovely bokeh dots. The large size looks great! How clever to use your punches to fit the sentiment on.
