Second challenge is for October's Penny Black and More Challenge - Pretty in Pink. I thought I needed to use a Penny Black image to join in, but DT Jenny reminded me that any make of stamp is allowed.
This is a simple card that is pink and white. I used a circle stencil (with all different sizes of circles) and a couple of sponge daubers to create the bokeh background. It's so easy. I started by layering different sizes of circles sponged in pink (worn lipstick) ink. Some circles I sponged very lightly, others more intense. Once the background was mostly filled, I added some white ink through the circle stencil to layer more on top. I love this dreamy-look background. Paired it with a simple white die-cut of trees on a snowy hill and a simple sentiment in the same pink ink. The front panel is popped up for added dimension.

I adore that bokeh effect background Loll and the unusual shape of the aperture with the trees looks great over the top and contrasts beautifully with the white and a simple but lovely sentiment in the matching pink. This is for a great cause too and only wish I had time to enter but am so caught up with other things that challenges have mostly gone by the board at the moment. x
Such a dreamy background with a wonderful effect. Perfect die cut and a perfect pink CAS card....which is great for the great cause x.

A great design Loll and super background through the aperture. Jenny is right, much as we love our PB's any make of stamp is eligible although stamping must be the focal element but thanks so much for sharing with us at Penny Black and More challenge.
