A project from our live show CREATE AND CRAFT - Join Toni for the latest Thirsty Brush products - show 2 - broadcast 27th April · 04/27/2022
An artistic card featuring a bokeh technique background created with circular stencils and multiple ink colours. A fussy-cut dragonfly with sparkle embellishment and a sentiment complete this creative design.
Create a circular stencil by drawing around craft products and cutting out three or four circles of different sizes from black cardstock.
Apply a light shade of ink (such as gold or light colour) through the stencil onto white cardstock.
Apply a medium shade of ink through the stencil in different positions on the same cardstock.
Apply a darker or contrasting ink shade through the stencil, pressing firmly to create coverage.
Add white ink through the stencil, pressing hard to push the other colours to the background and create highlights.
Add white pen details such as small lines or reflections within some circles to enhance the bokeh effect.
Add white splats across the background for an artistic touch.
Mount the bokeh background onto a card base.
Fussy cut a dragonfly element from the stamp set.
Apply glue to the dragonfly wings and add sparkle or glitter.
Adhere the sparkly dragonfly to the card.
Add a sentiment to complete the card.
