Wednesday Walkthrough: Watercolor Wash meets Beautiful Bokeh Techniques with this Lovely Amazing You Card

I just love, love, love the font in the Lovely Amazing You photopolymer stamp set, and I thought it just went perfectly with this pretty way to get a background with the Watercolor Wash technique! So today I just had to share this card with you, and I’ll have the video for the Wednesday Walkthrough posted too below! But for now, check out this cutie – Smile

Tips for making this card:

Emboss your background piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using the Big Polka Dot embossing folder to complement the Bokeh circles you create on top of the tag.
Watercolor Wash makes an awesome background for your bokeh cards. You will want to make sure you use an Aqua Painter NOT a Blender Pen, and you want to be using Watercolor Paper NOT your basic cardstock because you’ll be using lots of water to help let your colors spread on the background.
Stamp your sentiment on AFTER you have done your bokeh circles.
HEADS UP! This stamp set is one of the monthly photopolymer releases and so is NOT in a catalog. It is guaranteed available from Feb 2015 to July 2015, so don’t wait too long to pick yours up!
Punch the top with the Scalloped Tag Topper and then wrap some of the thick baker’s twine through to make a tassel top.
Get that extra tassel-y top by untwisting the baker’s twine so all the individual threads are fluffed out!
