 I made this for the VSN Challenge Olympic Rings: Bokeh Technique by Gracie. I found that the white ink was not drying so I added some clear embossing. I like the effect. Thanks Gracie.

I can see the clear embossing and it adds another dimension to the bokeh. This really came out well.

The layered bokeh circles create such a vivid sense of movement, and the clear embossing gives the whole panel a polished, dimensional glow. The bold sentiment sits so well against the saturated color, letting the background shine without competing. A striking take on the challenge with beautiful control of the technique.
