Bleached Leaves

Here is another card using bleach. This could be used as a very nontraditional Valentine's card. The leaf stamp is from Hero Arts and was stamped with bleach on the orange, green, and purple cardstock then layered on a piece of beige cardstock and brown cardstock. The buttons were created with white shrink plastic and a 3/4 inch Marvy punch. Holes in the middle of each button were punched to create button holes. The shrink plastic was stippled with Adirondack inks Terra Cotta, Oregano, and Currant. Gold cord was threaded through the button holes and tied into a knot. The buttons were applied with glue dots. The words were stamped and embossed with Versamark Ink and gold embossing powder. The inside of the card finishes the Love is words with "Love is like a tree...it puts down deep roots into our whole being." The words are from Wordsworth rubber stamps.
