Fresh Squeezed Stamps is celebrating their birthday this week, and they're running a birthday card challenge. I thought it would be a great opportunity to ink up one of my FSS sets that I haven't gotten to use yet as well as knock out another card for Andrew. I thought I had a little cushion on the birthday cards, but he apparently had to hand out five of them on Monday!
I used On Trend 2013 for this card. I was kind of going for the bokeh effect, but I think the darks are a little too dark. Basically I chose colors of ink and stamped the three circle sizes in first, second, and third generation. I like how it looks, but I think my bokeh needs work. If I do it again, I will probably try just using second and third generation stamping.
Anyway, thanks for coming by, hope your week is going well!
Supplies Used
Paper/Cardstock: CTMH - Colonial White and Pacifica cardstock
Stamps: FSS - On Trend 2013
Ink: CTMH - Dutch Blue, Smoothie, Creme Brulee
Other: Tombow - Mono Adhesive
