Bokeh over Watercolor (a tutorial)

Hi everyone!  I’ve been playing around a bit with different watercolor techniques and decided this is definitely one of my favorites!

I created a bright watercolor background then added different sizes of white dots. It’s super cool (I think). 🙂

I dropped vibrant pink and yellow inks onto wet watercolor paper, then tipped the paper to allow the inks to mix in some areas, creating bright spots of orange mixed in with the pink and yellow. Once dried, I sponged circles of white pigment ink over to create a bokeh appearance.

I die-cut and adhered “wishing” from Simon Says Stamp‘s Sending & Wishing and white embossed the remainder of the sentiment. The small arrow and heart were cut using Paper Smooches‘ Tiny Hearts Dies.

If you’d like to try this technique, you can find a step-by-step tutorial HERE on the Craftsy blog.

Thanks for stopping by!
