CCNS49 - Lily and Bokeh

Since I recently discovered a new use for my circle punches, I've been playing with different ways to get a bokeh effect.  The challenge this week to use dots, stripes, and chevrons was perfect for testing out a new on-the-fly method.  I made my own stencil using acetate (you can use the backing that comes with stamp sets or Spellbinders' packaging) by punching holes of various sizes.  I then used Dreamweaver's white embossing paste to make my first set of dots.  After die-cutting out a large circle, I sponged the edges using Tim Holtz Peacock Feathers  and Shaded Lilac.  For my next layer, I clear embossed some circles and sponged Broken China over my circle.  Finally, I used my sponge daubers to add Versamark cloud white.  (So basically, I grabbed what was white or clear around my craft area and used it all!)  My lily is from  MFT Lily Die-namics and popped up small Joy! foam pads.  To keep the soft look of the card, I embossed on vellum my sentiment from ODBD Ornate Frame Sentiments, added baby pearls,  and corner punched the bottom corners of the card.  Thanks for looking!
