Today is my second inspiration post for our Country View Challenge where the theme is Bokeh.
And yes, as the title suggest, another morning... although this one is very abstract,
so it really is up to you what you see in my make!
I have no step by step because I had no idea where I was going with the piece of cardstock I started with. I applied some Fresco paints in Butter, Pumpkin Soup, South Pacific, Blue Oyster and Claret. I did this in several layers until I was happy with the result.
I then used a DIY stencil and a foam sponge to apply gesso for the Bokeh effect, and here too I had to apply several coats to get the circles to stand out.
I added some stamping with the Paper Artsy set ELB33, the dotty border and corner with Distress Oxide in Denim and the wheat in Versafine Clair Pinecone. Neither of these inks dried on the acrylic paint and I hastily embossed with clear EP.
I stamped the sentiment from the same set with Black Versafine and embossed with Wow! Chai Latte EP, which has a subtle sheen and slight opacity.
I hope you like my make and will play with us at Country View Challenges, there's a £20 voucher to win...
Happy weekend!
I am entering the Addicted to Stamps, Bleeding Art, Craft Stamper, We Love To Create, Creative Artist challenges.

Glorious! This makes me happy - such beautiful paint layers - those colours work so well to create the sunshine of an autumn day, and the Bokeh bubbles let the light dance around those lovely LB grasses. This is right up there with my favourites of yours.
