One Layer Christmas Card Challenge - Circles!



The OLCC Challenges are always Christmas anything goes with an optional twist!  The twist for challenge #6 is Circles!

The circle challenge was the perfect opportunity to create using the Bokeh technique!  I used Arches Aquarelle Hot Press 140 lb Watercolor paper for my card base.  I masked off the fold so I wouldn't get watercolors running down the back.  I wet the card front and used a wet brush loaded with red and then green Aquarelle Sennelier watercolors to add the color to the card base.  The circles were created using my homemade circle stencil and Sampin' Up White Pigment ink.  The sentiment is Penny Black A Wonderful Christmas stamp.

We hope you'll share your one layer Christmas card with us at the OLCCC.  You ca find the challenge HERE.
