Product Spotlight-Bokeh Dots

According to Wikipedia," the bokeh is the blur or aesthetic quality of the blur in out of focus areas of an image."
It often refers to photography, but it has become one of my favorite stamping techniques.

While Bokeh Dots is one of my favorite stamp sets, I also like to create my own bokeh design. It's easy to create your own stencil.

3. Using the stencil, add White Craft ink.
