AAA Birthday Game #55 - Large Sentiment

 Hello Crafty Friends,

It's November 1st (can you believe it?), and time for a new challenge at AAA Birthday. This month we invite you to create a birthday card with a

Large Sentiment

Please se challenge card further down.


Here's my take on the challenge

I started by creating a background for my large sentiment. Using Distress Oxides in a rainbow of colours I ink blended my background, and then to make it a bit more fun and cheerful I decided to try to create a bokeh effect, something I never tried before. I used some white ink and a circle stencil, and randomly inked white circles all over the colourful background. It's by no means perfect, but I do like how it turned out. To give the sentiment some dimension I die cut it twice and adhered together. I added a small banner, on which I had stamped and heat embossed the word birthday, to turn the sentiment into a birthday greeting. I gave the background a thin white border before adhering it to a card base.
