a bokeh-ful celebration

i decided to play along with the latest tuesday trigger at moxie fab world - pastel pretties!

i have had this idea to try to add some bokeh to a card for a while, but i have never attempted it...until now.
and i'm not sure my attempt was 100% successful. sometimes i look at the card and think it does look like bokeh, and sometimes i look and just see a bunch of polka dots. :) ha ha!

so here it is:

i used the awesome, lovely sentiment from the paper smooches stamp set pretty phrases. and the 'bokeh' was created using the three different sized circles from the gently seasoned. then i added some fun, gold sequins to add to the dimension/bokeh/dreamy feel. :)

i stamped the circle and then first stamped the image onto a scrap paper and then stamped onto my card. so all of the colors are second generations. 
like i said, i tried! i also created a version of this card on white cardstock (my first, first attempt!), but the circles looked even more like polka dots because of the stark color contrast!)

so that's it! 
enjoy!
