3 Fun Projects & Video with the Circle Celebration stamp set

I tried not to order the Circle Celebration stamp set but it kept calling out 'Order me!'  So I caved….and am so glad I did!  The images seem like they're almost 'retro' style which I love.  I do enjoy creating my own stamped background and these are perfect for that.

Today I'm focusing on the cards on the right.  I made them with the Bokeh technique.  It's so fun and almost 3D in appearance.

You start out with a sponged background. I used our new Blending Brushes that are awesome! They are currently out of stocks but should be back at the end of March.

Randomly sponge ink colors onto our Basic White CS.  Choose colors that somewhat coordinate if possible.  this can be difficult for some who struggle with color combos. I choose colors that when mixed do not make mud.  How do I know which colors don't mix?  Trial and error of course!  Here I used Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape.  Aren't these colors gorgeous together?!!!

*Another combo I might pick are yellows, oranges & reds.  Or greens & blues!

Once you're done you add sponged circles using White Craft ink.  I made my own stencils by punching circles out of card stock.  I share tips on using and re-inking our White Craft ink in the video below.

The greeting is from the Best Year stamp set in the Annual Catalog and the butterflies AND white dotted die-cut 'holes' are from the new Brilliant Wings bundle seen here.

Here is the video; I hope you watch it to see how to make these fun projects!
