Hello Bokeh Background Card by Dana Tatar for Clearsnap and Tombow

I created a fun card with some of my favorite Clearsnap and Tombow products. Think outside the box-shaped ink pad and use Donna Salazar circular Mix'd Media Inx pads to create a beautiful bokeh background. Add Donna Salazar Fairy Dust Glitter to Tombow Adhesive Dots to add a pop of glittery color to your project!

Donna Salazar Mix'd Media Inx for Bokeh Background Effect by Dana Tatar for Clearsnap

I love that the Donna Salazar Mix'd Media Inx pads are circular in shape! I've been on a bokeh kick lately and these ink pads are fantastic for creating bokeh backgrounds! I selected Mix'd Media Inx in Denim, Chiffon, Pewter and Patina along with a piece of white cardstock.

Donna Salazar Mix'd Media Inx Application for Bokeh Background Effect by Dana Tatar for Clearsnap

I started with the lightest color of Mix'd Media Inx and gently pressed and swirled the ink pad directly onto the cardstock in a random fashion. I repeated this process for the other colors of ink until the cardstock was completely covered.

Tombow Xtreme Permanent Adhesive for Cardmaking by Dana Tatar

I used Tombow Xtreme Permanent Adhesive to mount my bokeh pattern on to a piece of cardstock and then on to a patterned paper card base.

Donna Salazar Fairy Dust Glittered Adhesive Dots by Dana Tatar

I applied Tombow Adhesive Dots randomly over my bokeh design. The adhesive is colored so it is easy to see, but in this case, the color worked great for my design! I covered each adhesive dot with Donna Salazar Fairy Dust Glitter. This fine glitter formula allowed the colored adhesive to shine through!

Securing Embellishments with Tombow Multi Mono Liquid Glue by Dana Tatar

I finished this card by adding a paper die-cut, chipboard sentiment and fabric flower, which I secured with Tombow Multi Mono Liquid Glue. This glue works amazing on almost all surfaces!
