Hello Brenda. Glad you like this technique. It’s one I’ve used many times since. Hope you’ll give it a try 💕

[@justinakavanagh3058]

I love it when people come up with inexpensive ideas. Thank You. Bokeh Tags turned out beautiful. Thanks for the tip about white StazOn.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

ThAnks for your lovely comment. Happy crafting 💕

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]

I love this background style. There are 2 white stamp pads I can suggest to you that are great... one is the Umbrella crafts White Pigment ink pad and the other is he Memento Luxe "Wedding Dress" ink pad. Both are great!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks for the recommendations Stacy. Really disappointed with the one I used!

[@rozenart5768]

Pink Poodle Crafts thank you for the idea!!

[@bethannduprey5245]

Hi Nina, These tags are so beautiful. Bokeh is a new technique for me. I am so glad you shared it with us. I can't wait to try it. One of the many things I love about your videos is you help us to look for possibilities everywhere (a paper pad's cover page for example). TFS!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks for your lovely comment as always Bethann, I really appreciate it ❤️

[@dorothykovak4900]

Thanks Pauline!

[@karenlusby6230]

You used several products new to me as I have avoided ‘mixed media’ videos. I will have to open my mind to new techniques as these are truly beautiful. Thank you!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thank you so much a Karen. You can also do this with a thin layer of white paint or gesso if you don’t have ink. Just don’t use too much paint. Happy Creating 💕

[@edwigeviel430]

Those tags are simply gorgeous ! This technique is really effective, tfs !

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Jane, they were too nice to throw away 💕

[@dianeescoffier8652]

Bokeh--wait, what? I had to look the term up...LOL...but it is a great technique! Job well done on the Bokeh tags---love the color/colours you chose. Such a nice size for the tags, also. Thank you for sharing your process once again, Ms. Nina, it seems that I am forever learning!!!

You made reference to this video on the video you posted on Sunday. I so enjoyed that video and the bokeh technique. This video is absolutely stunning with those images from cover.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

[@purplefairy1]

Oooo what a lovely technique! 💜

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thank you!

[@madebymartha]

These are fabulous-can’t wait to try!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Martha ❤️

[@jennygee9849]

love your tags Nina...I had similar trouble with Staz On white & had to ink it every time I used it (grrrr)...now I do Bokeh by leaving the Oxides untreated & dabbing thru circles with a wet baby wipe & when done lifting the colour I heat set inks

[@lechat8736]

Jenny Gee Thank you, I thought of making it this way but wasn`t quite sure. Now you confirmed my theory and I was very glad when I saw your comment :)) Thanks, Jenny!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

This is a brilliant idea Jenny. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@loripadilla669]

Love your tags Nina. The bokeh technique makes a wonderful background. I'm looking forward to giving it a try. Love your focal images too, never know where you might find inspiration.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

I was so glad to be able to use them. Enjoy ❤️

[@ClareCreationsAL]

Thank you so much for sharing this technique!!! I’ve seen it done with colors of ink but never white. I LOVE the white bc it gives a truer impression of the bokeh of lights that happens in photography. I’m immediately about the StazOn white ink pad. I’ve had one for years that I’ve never used that is still in the package. And I have a reinker. I’m definitely doing this technique, so I may just us the reinker on my craft mat instead of an ink pad. Thank you so much for this tutorial! And I LOVE the images you used!!!! I’ll have to find some online somewhere! Stunning tags!!! Thank you so much!! Hugs!!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Leslie. This ink pad needs inking up after every single impression. The metallic gold and silver are the same and thats why they come with the reinkers as they wouldn’t work without them. I am not impressed with any of them and would certainly not buy them again. I’ve ordered the distress picket fence and I’ll let you know how I get on with that. 🤞it works much better 🤞 hugs xxx

[@corinnecurtis5145]

Wonderful tags!

[@dawnkarasaki6172]

wonderful Nina, I love the bokeh method you came up with.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Dawn!

[@Scrapitydoodah]

[@EarthlyJoys-LMG]

[@sherrireeves8110]

Stunning! Love the way these turned out!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Sherri ❤️

[@estherchatz5477]

Oh my absolutely stunning love it 💓

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Esther!

[@jackieelliott2913]

Lovely tags this week. I love the bokeh technique as it gives a lovely blended back ground. I gave up with the stazon white ink pad, I just use white acrylic paint and a round blending tool, remembering to use light layers and build up the depth of colour.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Jackie. I’m going to try it with paint and gesso. The Stazon has gone in the bin!

[@sybilgrieco5592]

Love these! You always spark my creativity.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Sybil ❤️

[@heathergetson5349]

Gorgeous tags. Love the Bokeh look and going to give it a try.

Love that bokeh process. Really makes a gorgeous background. Beautiful tags!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Debbie. I really do enjoy using this technique 💕

[@vickieb2917]

Lovely tags Nina, really like the bokeh technique will give that a try.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Vickie!

[@elizabethnaisbitt1795]

Another winner, they are all gorgeous. Loving the use of the lip gloss and if it works, why not, cosmetics can prove to be effective and somewhat cheaper than the 'real deal'. Tfs xo

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Elizabeth. I was glad the lip balm worked! Xox

[@debbiedunham5204]

Awesome tags! Love this technique! Hugs xxx

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

[@alisabarott]

Thanks for the ideas! Love this.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Alisa!

[@fiannev8457]

Great technique this bokeh. Love the looks of it. If you don't do it too dense it's almost like an out of focus lightspecs. Beautiful.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Fianne. Its pretty isn’t it ❤️

[@karenlynn1956]

Great tags, I’d never seen this technique before.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Is ‘t it fun ❤️

[@Debraisea]

Thank you for sharing this technique Nina. Your tags are very effective, especially the craft card one x

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Debby. I like that one too ❤️

These tags are awesome, Nina. Hugs Shell

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Shell ❤️

[@susiemartin8172]

Great looking. Love this

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Susie!

[@scrappidoodle]

I love this technique and last used it a while ago. I used a Brilliance white ink pad, by the way, and it seemed to work well. Thank you for sharing Nina. x

[@tararoberts183]

Love these tags, Nina! But I had to laugh because with the sweater and over-sized gloves you were really reminding me of Freddy Krueger!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Oh my gosh I know!!! Good heavens above 😂😂😂

[@annholcomb4448]

Really like your tags. I've learned a new technique. Also love "tidy up".

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Ann ❤️

[@RobertasArtisticAdventures]

Gorgeous tags! Love the bokeh technique and look it gives a project! TFS!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Roberta!

[@thegypsy1968]

I am in love with this technique!! Brilliant!!! totally gonna try this..thanks for sharing Hugs from North Carolina

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Gina, isn’t it fun!

[@jeanneshirley5982]

The directions to the Staz On ink say to ink it before every use. So you are only inking it for what you are working on at the moment. It does go a little more quickly but it stays put like it says very well. Loved the video, learned something new, THANKS!

[@andreamaiorana8490]

What a great technique!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much Andrea 😊

[@melaniebrown747]

These are great Nina!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Mel xx

[@darlenesmith515]

That's really clever using the cover to good use, thanks for sharing Nina.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Darlene, glad you like how I used it!

[@miekemiddelhuis3782]

Beautiful artsy tags, I love the colourcombinations. I've made a bokeh background (quite some time ago) with my memento white inkpad, and it seemed to work fine. Great ideas Nina, thank you!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks for the recommendation Mieke ❤️

[@artycraftydabbles]

Love the technique and tags. Sue 🌸

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Sue ❤️

[@ashphoenix5447]

Absolutely lovely Nina. I really enjoyed this and they turned out so very pretty! TFS

Thanks so much Ash ❤️

These are beautiful.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Rae 😊

[@flyingdutchbird]

Lovely tags, I love using Distress Oxides, they blend so well! For white ink, I would recommend to try Hero Arts Unicorn White, not only does it have a great name ;) it also stamps well, is really juicy and covers great; I find it to be true white. It does stay wet a while, especially on paint or other non-porous surfaces, so be careful not to smear. I tend to dry it with a heat tool, which takes a while but does work.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks so much for this recommendation. I think I will go for this as its been recommended by others too ❤️

[@toriswanson5451]

I'd never heard of bokah. Had to look it up. Lol. Your tags turned out great. I'm going to give this a try. Congratulations on 13000 subbies! Hugs

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Tori. Gosh I didn’t realise I’d reached that milestone ❤️❤️❤️

[@kimarieandrews6565]

This is a fantastic idea! Tfs!

[@alsoarty1]

Oh I like that a lot! Tfs.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thank you 😊

[@Weasel0539]

I want to try this. I love the bokeh effect in photography. I like that the white circles are very pale and misty and not too solid looking.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Angie. Great to see you tried it with your £1 pigment ink pad. You achieved great results 💜

[@nellgilmour5388]

Lovely tags, thanks for sharing! FYI, I used a touch of white gesso for this technique. Worked out great for me.

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Nell. I thought about gesso and so will try that for sure ❤️

[@clarechambers8393]

Gorgeous tags!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Clare!

[@AlmutOlsson]

Wow, beautiful tags, very cool!!! TFS! 👏🏻😊

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Almut! 😊 xox

[@ednamorgan7827]

These are so lovely. I'm definitely going to have a go. Thank you, Nina!

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Edna, its a fun technique isn’t it ❤️

[@JH-wd7ul]

(Referred to this video from your 2022 Valentine's Themed Bokeh video, which I loved!) Since I've viewed the recent video, I know that you are already familiar with Hero Arts Unicorn White, which is my favorite. 😊 This background is so dreamy and beautiful! And what a brilliant idea to recycle the cover of your mixed media pad. I will definitely be using this bokeh technique very soon! Janet💕

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Janet, I have used this technique over and over as it’s so beautiful. I hope you will enjoy it too 💕

[@angelanagel1569]

Love the technique! XX

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thanks Angela 😊

[@GrumpetteJV]

Lovely!! What you could use is zinc white acrylic paint. It's a transparent white and very versatile. It's great for mixing colours aswell.

[@stephaniemcclaran967]

These are fabulous ! TFS :)

[@NinaRibenaMixedMedia]

Thank youn☺️

[@laineygardner5211]

I love that technique, it gives the circles so much depth and dimension! Your tags are gorgeous ♥
