This month at the House of Cards, we're playing with the bokeh technique. There are lots of ways to accomplish the effect. In my case, I used my airbrush system to spray the circles through a mask, varying the intensity/density of the ink to give the illusion of depth. I then stamped white pigment ink circles over the top to complete the background.
I'm planning to give this to my stepson's girlfriend who's Vietnamese and I thought she'd get a kick out of the punny stamp. Hopefully she won't mind that there aren't any pandas in Vietnam--LOL.
