Bokeh Kiddies and a Limerick winner
Bokeh Kiddies and a Limerick winner
Hi there!
Sunny Sunday down here!
Went to Brighton for the day
and had a lovely mooch through the lanes with Dave.
Got a couple of gifts and soaked up the atmosphere.
If you’ve never been to Brighton,
put it on your Places-to-visit list.
It is fabulous.
SO ARTY!!!!!
I’ve come away wanting to get out my sewing machine,
start painting, get into mixed media and buy a kiln!
Anyway...
Here’s a quick step-by-step i did last week,
showing off the Bokeh technique with water.
Ready?
White emboss the Jayne Nestorenko children
from the new Stamp set:
also available individually.
I used Versamark ink pad + detail white embossing powder.
Place the tag on a Blending mat.
Using the mini blending tools and a selection of Dye-based Artistry ink pads, start working in the colour with the tool, in off the blending mat.
Start with the lighter colours.
If you’re not sure which ink pads to start with,
I have put together a set of my faves
which is a very good starting place.

Use a good paint brush and water to lift the colour out of the two little figures, and allow to dry.
Using a clean foam pad let’s create this so-called Bokeh effect.
I spritz a little water into a little container,
then soak up a little water.
It’s all about NOT TOO MUCH WATER.
Place the round damp foam disk on the coloured card,
hold in place press lightly, and then lift.
Blot the sponge getting rid of the colour, and go again.
Use the same ink, diluted with a little water
and using the good No. 6 sable hair paintbrush to reintroduce colour into the childrens’ clothes.
Run a matching promarker pen around the edge,
and we’re done.
Oh Joy!!
We have a limerick winner.
I did have to laugh.
Some of you took the close shave so literally!
So thank you thank you for joining in the fun.
Although I would like to send a £50 gift voucher to every single enterer of the competition - there can only be one winner.....
drumroll......

There once was a farmer called Dave,
Who one night had a very close shave.
He tried milking the bull,
