For my part, I thought bokeh dots were the way to go...
There are love themed challenges all around blogland this week so I was able to play along with a few of them such as The Paper Players, AAA Cards, and Just Us Girls. I'm not that confidant in my ability to do a decent watercolor background so I used some patterned paper that did the work for me. I added my bokeh dots with some stencils and stamped a big old sentiment in the middle. The idea for this card came to me when I was out walking on my lunch hour on Monday. The temperatures were near 60-degrees which is a nice bonus in what are normally the coldest winter days around here. I'm pretty sure the warm temperatures and the sunshine inspired my creativity!
Our Freshly Made Sketches design team have made some fantastic cards this week with this sketch. I'm always amazed at where these sketches take us! I hope you can play along with us this week!

Well that paper is the perfect background! The bold sentiment looks great! And we even had a brief warm spell......but it’s over....lol...
The bokeh looks so amazing! I have never done that technique and always love it when I see it. Love the pink too!
Pretty card Jen, the bokeh looks fantastic!
Very cool, Jen! We had those warm temps the other day, and now we're back to seasonal... Your card has so much dimension, even though it's a lovely OLC. Such pretty colors and the bokeh looks wonderful. The sentiment looks like it's floating above the color. Great card. Bev
That's beautiful pp, Jen, and an excellent way to use it! Your bokeh bubble additions are divine and so is the sediment!! See that? Just tell Jen B. that they aren't circles, they're bubbles!! Hugs, Darnell
Using the bokeh technique was genius with this sketch that had me stumped! The "bubbles" give it that airy feeling which is so perfect for the theme at Paper Players! Thanks so much for joining us in the challenge!
Oh I love this card! The bokeh background is so subtle and pretty and the simple sentiment just finishes everything off beautifully. Thanks for playing at AAA Cards, hope to see you joining in with future challenges too
Fabulous Simple Stamping Card! Your background is beautiful!
Oh this card is just amazing Jen! I love the bokeh circles and I love that background! The sentiment is perfect! I need to remember that I am trypophobic!!! That is awesome!!
Gorgeous Jen - the paper was a great choice, it looks like you did it yourself and I love the Bokeh dots. A beautiful CAS card. Thanks for playing along with my love-themed challenge over at The Paper Players this week!
This is so pretty in the purple and white with the bold black sentiment!
Love your bokeh take on the circles, Jen! The designer paper is a great idea for the base and the soft color perfect for the big, bold sentiment!
Beautiful! And what a great idea to create your bokeh on the patterned paper! Speaking of, don't you just love that watercolor wash paper?
Really pretty card, Jen! Thanks for sharing at AAA Cards challenges.
You Absolutely nailed the circles with your gorgeous bokeh circles! And so perfectly CAS- what a beauty!
Wow this is so pretty and striking. Thank you for playing at AAA Cards challenge, hugs ~ Ishani.
