Kind Koala Bokeh Style

I'm back with a card for the Paper Players sketch challenge that can be found HERE.  The sketch has a lot of "white" space and I have a hard time leaving that space alone!  I thought I'd fill up that space while trying a technique I've been wanting to play with.  This Bokeh background was created by saturating a piece of watercolor paper with water and adding random splotches of reinkers with a wet Aquapainter.  After the water dried I used various sized circle templates and sponged white craft ink with some circles being sponged lighter than others.  Let me know what you think.

 I'm also entering this card in a "new to me" challenge site called Cupcake Inspirations, love the koala cupcakes ...so cute!  Check it out HERE.  










STAMPS: Kind Koala, Crazy About You
INK: Tempting Turquoise, Lucky Limeade and Pacific Point OR Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, White Craft Ink,  Blendabilities
PAPER: Same as ink plus Whisper White
OTHER: Circles Framelites, Little Letters Thinlits, Decorative Dots EF
