SCS Falliday Fest - trying Bokeh

This challenge, part of the 2 week long Falliday Fest at SplitCoastStampers, is to use the Bokeh technique - with a twist. The twist is to use the white highlights only outside the chosen shape. I colored the entire piece with watered down blue reinker. I then masked stars, sponging white ink around them for a shimmery light effect. This photo looks like I could have been a bit heavier with the white, but IRL I like the look. The image is QKR stampede, and the sentiment is 7Gypsies.
Sketch #252: SketchSaturday
Any: Simon Says Stamp Wednesday
Theme: stamps, sponging: Stamplorations.
Frame: Tuesday Throwdown
