Friday Challenge: Same supplies...3 different cards

So for today's challenge, use the same supplies and see how many different cards you can make.

I used the same supplies and created three different cards. Top and bottom are both emboss resist and the center one is stamped. I did change up the sentiment on each of the cards.

Supply list:
Memento Black Ink
Stampin' Up White Embossing Powder
Ranger Distress Inks
Ink-a-dink-ado Garden Words Stamp Set
Heidi Swapp Gold Spray Mist (on the bottom one only)

Happy Crafting

Finishing up LOAD215

I had a great time with LOAD (Layout A Day) this time.

I actually made it all the way through the challenge this time. In fact I created over 30 layouts for the month. Most of the layouts I created were digital but that's OK with me, layouts done are layouts done.

A layout of the first crop I ever attended. Wow, it is hard to believe
this was almost 15 years ago. My sister-in-law is the one to blame
for this obsession with paper crafting.

Tuesday Technique = The Bokeh Technique

What is Bokeh?

The term comes from the Japanese word boke (暈け or ボケ), which means "blur" or "haze", or boke-aji (ボケ味), the "blur quality". The Japanese term boke is also used in the sense of a mental haze or senility.^[8] The term bokashi (暈かし) is related, meaning intentional blurring or gradation.
