I need two sympathy cards and I don't have a one in my stash so I decided to check out the Way To Use it Challenge WT670 and found that Sabrina is having us Circle Around today. I checked out all the tutorials and they look like such fun but right now I still need less detailed projects to work on. I chose the Bokeh Background which I found to be very therapeutic. There is just something relaxing about sponging little circles!!!
Thanks, Sabrina, if my doctor knew about stamping, this is what she would have ordered for the day!

Wow Ang, this is gorgeous. I love the technique, and the design and colours are beautiful. This would be perfect for all sorts of occasions (not with reference to the dead bit, but you know what I mean). As always, your photograph is superb.

I'm glad the challenge provided you with some art therapy today, Angie, and I've been happy to see your comments as I catch up in the gallery. I always enjoy this technique. Toni mentioned something about the sponging when she tried it...I always just use my fingertip because I don't have a dauber for white...I wonder why not? It's a really beautiful sympathy card..into my favourites.

Oh Angie, I always feel odd saying a sympathy card is gorgeous but this one is.
It is sad that we need sympathy cards to send but it would be even sadder to not acknowledge someones grief and I'm sure whoever receives this card will appreciate it. Hugs Marg

Love, love, your big fat bokeh circles, as you call them. They are quite therapeutic - you are right. And they are lovely over these colors! the silhouette images are really perfect with the out of the box way you used them.
