  1. Hi Bibiana,

    WOW! These are stunning, love both of the backgrounds, sometimes I feel its the backgrounds that make the card rather than the focal point, however, the focal point enhances the background . Beautiful creations both of them.

    Love & Hugs

  26. The bokeh technique looks amazing! I've been wanting to try this and it's on my list - I plan to make my own template too, like you did! I like how you used pencils erasers for smaller circles - great idea! I like your weaving as well - I tried this once, a long time ago, but with ribbon and it took quite a while but the outcome looked amazing! As does yours! Happy Easter, Bibiana!

  27. Two fabulous cards and two great techniques too. I wanted to enter the Lavinia challenge but got carried away with my colours and added extra ones to my green and yellow card so I will have to try again. I love your bokeh background, definitely one I am going to have a go at. Hope you have a great Easter.
