Bokeh Hearts

I tried to capture the bokeh effect using hearts instead of circles for this Valentine's Day card.

Bokeh Hearts

I used Distress Inks to create my watercoloured background and inked up Simon Says Stamps Tons of Hearts images in a variety of coloured dye and pigments inks and white dye and pigment inks. The sentiment was gold embossed with Simon Says Stamps Essential Greetings and I added a few sequins to finish off the card.

This is a great card for a guy.  Nothing frilly, feminine or sparkly happening here.

I'm entering this in Simon Says Stamps Flickr Love Challenge #11.
