Bokeh Technique Background

Hi everyone! This is GiGi from The Cricut Bug and it's my day to post a Technique Tuesday.

I have a tutorial to share of how I created the background of my card using the Bokeh Technique.

I started with a 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 inch piece of white cardstock.
I used the Stamp AnnieThing Inks in Caribbean Blue, Heather, and Shocking Pink to ink blend the background.

After the background was ink blended I used the Bubble Stencil, dabbing on white Acrylic paint with a sponge.

After it was dry, I rotated the stencil to the opposite side and did this process again. This gave the bubbles a layered, pixelated look.
I cut out the background using a scallop rectangle mat along with a strip of white for the sentiment.
I stamped and colored Sofia and her bubbles using Copic Markers and mounted her on pop dots.

I hope you all liked my project for today and thanks for visiting!
Have a great day!

Julie - Presents and Cupcakes

Hi Friends! 

I have a fun Birthday card to share with you today. Im gonna let you in on a little secret...I made it for my Mom's upcoming Birthday. shhhh...don't tell her ;)

I coloured up "Julie - Presents and Cupcakes" with Copic markers and cut her out. To add some depth, I popped her up using some foam tape and placed her on a background that I created using the "Bubble" stencil. Next I diecut out the word "Happy" using the die and then heat embossed the word "birthday" using white embossing powder.

I hope you like my card creation for today!! 

Until next time - Stephen 

Don't Let Anyone Burst Your Bubble

Hi everyone! This is GiGi from The Cricut Bug sharing a card and it's also time for a new challenge!

This month the challenge is "Stenciled Background" and here is the card I made using Sofia-Burst Bubble.

I started this card with a standard A2 card base and added the background mat cut with the Jaded Blossom Card Mat Dies.

I stenciled in the bubbles on the white mat using the Bubbles Stencil in several colors and added decorative corners cut with the Mini Tag Dies 3.

I stamped and colored Sofia with Copic markers and stamped the sentiment onto a sticky note tag.

I hope you all liked my card for today and will play along in the challenge.

Have a great day!
