By the Tide: Bokeh Technique

At last I have finally posted my other Bokeh card. (I'm not slow. Really, I'm not.) But I also have some good news. I finally got a new camera, and I have been learning how to use it. I wanted to take the best pictures I could to share with you! (Hopefully more often!) So here goes!

This card makes me think of swimming in the shallow water of the sea. The bokeh technique gives the impression of the water sparkling off the water under the surface. I really like this bokeh technique. This one truly does look like it is underwater! I hope you like it as much as I do!

All supplies are from Stampin' Up!, unless otherwise specified:

Stamps: By the Tide, Perfect Pennants

Cardstock: Coastal Cabana (retired), Pistachio Pudding (retired), Whisper White

Inks: Coastal Cabana (retired), Pistachio Pudding (retired) Whisper White - CRAFT, Lost Lagoon

Accessories: Big Shot, Big Shot Magnetic Platform, Banners Framelits Dies, Gold Sequin Trim, Mini Glue Dots, Dimensionals

I hope you like this card. I made it but forgot to post it before the Coastal Cabana and Pistachio Pudding In-Colors retired, but I decided to show it to you anyway. 

Enjoy your day!

Happy Fourth of July, America!
