Don’t you just love the look of the Bokeh Technique? It’s not only pretty to look at, but fun to do!
What is the Bokeh Technique? In photography, it’s when the lens blurs the background. For card making, we can mimic that blurry background look to add the illusion of depth. (Need a more in-depth answer? The Wikipedia entry on the Bokeh Technique is a good resource, although it’s all about photography)
Even my 8-year-old daughter wanted to make one. So if she can do it, you know you can, too! Here’s what she came up with using the technique.
She used the current Operation Smile Stamp Set—You’re the Bomb. Every time you purchase this set, $3 is donated to Operation Smile. Pretty awesome, right?
This is a technique I will be teaching at this month’s Stamp Club as well as Stamping on Saturday. If you’d like to come learn how to do this Bokeh Technique, be sure to RSVP today.
