I changed to a candlelit lantern which I stamped lightly and then watercolored. I also changed the colors, the foliage and the sentiment but kept the bokeh.
Thanks for the inspiration, Betty. Your gallery is full of gems. Enjoy your week!

What a lovely card, Nancy! I love the candlelit lantern and the addition of the pine sprigs on the side! The bokeh BG is wonderful! The lantern gives you that warm feeling!

Beautiful painting, as always. I agree with Faith that your lantern appears to light up the area right around it. So beautiful as are the colors and bokeh affects of the bg. Adding those wisps of pine needles really adds to the holiday feel. Wonderful card.

Wonderful case. Love it. Faith made a great observation that your lantern lights up the background (and Debbie too). Beautiful watercoloring. Love the bokeh too. Hugz~
