Educators’ Instagram Reel Hop

Bokeh Bubbles

Goldfish Pond is one of my all-time favorite Altenew Stamp Sets. This Animal Instagram Hop was the perfect opportunity to create with it once again. I never tire of finding new backgrounds for this graceful fish.

This hop also gave me an opportunity to experiment with my new Artist’ Watercolor Tubes.

Evie Jacobson renewed my interest in learning about Bokeh in a Bridget Casey Free Saturday Workshop. I looked through Pinterest and watched some YouTube videos before I tried it with a combination of White Cloud Pigment Ink and Artists’ Watercolor Tubes.

My reel shows the step with the White Cloud Pigment Ink and a Tim Holtz Round Blending Tool. This is done after the base watercoloring has dried. You also get to witness the great reveal when I lift the masking paper from the goldfish image.

I plan to teach a class using this technique in the near future.

Supplies:

A2 Watercolor Paper Set

Masking Paper

Altenew Alcohol Markers

Artists’ Watercolor Tubes

Watercolor Brush Bundle. (Large flat and smallest)

Iridescent Shimmer Ink Spray

Cloud White Pigment Ink

Goldfish Pond

Sentiment Strips

You Matter

Glitter Cardstock

Circle Die

Acrylic Scrap

Sequins

I teach virtually once a month on Bridget Casey’s Free Saturday Workshop and every second Wednesday. In person I teach at Bluemoon Scrapbooking in Tucson, AZ. My Altenew classes are announced in the Altenew Newsletter.

  1. This is great card Pam, I just watched a video showing how to add the Bokeh dots over watercolors, and I immediately added this technique to my must try list. Thanks for the inspiration!
