I might try and take a better photo of this card, it looks so much nicer in real life. I was inspired by this week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast ... HERE's Laine's original.
I copied her bokeh effect by diecutting a small circle in some scrap card and then chalking up pale blue, darker blue and sage. My flowers are from a Simon Says set - coloured with watercolour pencils and then clear gloss and glitter added to the flower centres. I also splattered my bg with some of the blue watercolour.
Dead quick and very easy to create ... I think I might make a stash of these!

Hi Lynne one of the reasons that I love to visit other crafters blogs is seeing the great diversity of styles in crafting, the heavily embellished the quirky fun style and this wonderful, lovely soft, delicate and quite beautiful style, the simplicity of the design, the colour and image is quite enchanting I love it so much.

I like the soft pastel colors of your bokeh pattern. They don't detract from your pretty flower image and add an interesting background effect. Pretty card!
Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for linking up over at 2 Creative Chicks
Have a creative day.

As Sarah mentioned we do prefer to see some white space, but you're forgiven this time as this is just beautiful. Gorgeous in fact!
Thanks for sharing with us.
