For the card base I used Spellbinders Majestic Labels Twenty Five and Labels Twenty Five.

I used Distress ink mini pads in several brown shades to apply ink to Sweet Vine Cling Background Stamp and then stamped on natural white cardstock. I die cut background with Labels Twenty Five and glued to card base.

I colored the flowers with Distress inks, misted them with water, scrunched them to shape them and let them dry.

JustRite Papercraft October Release - Bokeh Polka Cling Background Stamp

Hello Friends,
Welcome to Day One of the JustRite Papercraft October Release. Today we are showcasing Bokeh Time Clear Stamps and Bokeh Polka Cling Background Stamp. I used both sets for my card. Making the background by mixing several colors with distress inks was a lot of fun. You can watch Heidi's Video and follow her instructions on how to use the Bokeh Technique.

     

I started my card by making a 4 3/4" x 6" card base with green cardstock, followed by purple and orange layers. For the background I used distress inks in several colors to color on natural white cardstock. I then stamped Bokeh Polka Cling Background Stamp with orange distress ink and smaller circles from the set Bokeh Time Clear Stamps in purple and green.

I stamped the sentiment with black ink, die cut with Vintage Labels Seven Dies and adhered to card with foam squares.

For the flowers I used the new Pretty Petals dies by Spellbinders, Pretty Petals A, Pretty Petals B, Pretty Petals C and Pretty Petals D. I die cut the flowers with natural white cardstock, colored the flowers edges with distress inks and then layered them with foam squares onto card.

For the bow I used seam binding ribbon in purple color. 

Supplies:

JustRite Papercraft: Bokeh Polka Cling Background Stamp, Bokeh Time Clear Stamps, Vintage Labels Seven Dies.

Spellbinders Dies: Pretty Petals dies by Spellbinders, Pretty Petals A, Pretty Petals B, Pretty Petals C and Pretty Petals D.
