Bokeh Technique is a photography term and basically translates to a sharp focal point in front but with the light points behind blurry so as to make them round discs of light. Hope I don't offend any photography buffs with my inelegant explanation but it's an easy way to understand for stampers to create a similar technique. There are lots of examples of this technique both in photography and in stamping on the web.
I have used watercolour paper (smooth) with dye re-inkers with a little water mixed in for the backgrounds, then a rectangular shape of either cardstock or acetate with various sized circles die-cut out of it and applied white pigment ink, getting darker with the white as the circles get smaller. Remember these are atc sized which is about 6.4cm x 8.8cm (or 2.5" x 3.5")so pretty small for this particular effect. I've also included a couple of atc sized ones unadorned down the bottom so you can see the effect without all the stamping on top.
