Welcome to another CASE-ing the Catty Blog Hop, this week we are taking inspiration from the Thanks section of the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue - did I mention it has just recently been released? Just because it is a new catalogue doesn't me you have to use new product to join in, just take inspiration in some way from pages 13 to 18. Don't forget that the front page of each section has a heap of samples too.
I have never tried the bokeh technique before and wanted to give it a go for this challenge. I CASE-ed the card on page 14, but because I don't send many thank yous I changed it up to be a birthday version instead. I was pretty happy with how this turned out, but think it is a bit dark, so next time will use lighter colours. I think also doing it on watercolor paper meant that the sentiments didn't have as crisp an image.
I used stamps from a few different sets for the main panel, and added a few Blushing Bride and Bermuda Bay sequins for some bling.
Don't forget that you can join in by adding a comment to the CASE-ing the Catty Blog with a link to your project, and one of the team will add you in.
Time to hop on over to Emma's blog
