After my earlier attempt I'm getting a bit braver with the bokeh. I don't think this is ever going to become a favourite technique but it does make pretty backgrounds. This time I used watery colours to make a little ocean for my sea otter.
I cut it out with a wavy-stitched rectangle die and ran a fine liner along the stitching lines to look like real stitching. The sea otter and sentiment are made with a Lawn Fawn stamp and die set that I recently won in the Playground.
I am sharing this with
Alphabet challenge - use stitching (real or faux)

The bokeh is a fabulous technique and watery effect for that adorable little otter and all finished off with that fun sentiment. Wonderful card for the CAS mix up challenge and you've done a fabulous job of the technique X
