#TGIFC113 Technique Time - Bokeh

Japanese term for the subjective aesthetic quality of out-of-focus areas of a photographic image, Bokeh (pronounced "bo-ke" with the "ke" as in kettle) has been a fun stamping technique that has been floating around for a while, and our designers are giving it a try this week.



Before we go on to see what our team created for you this week. Thank you to everyone who played along with our "Let's Hear it for the Boys" challenge - GREAT entries! A special shout out to Jenn Frost for this card, which was voted as our winner!
