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.
This bunny stamp is from Outlines Rubber Stamps and is a perfect use of the bleach technique. The stamp was stamped with Black Versafine ink and embossed with polysparkle embossing powder on a light green Bazzill cardstock. The bunny was bleached with household bleach. The flowers and bunny ears were colored with Copic markers. Liquid Applique was added to the tail of the bunny. Lemon yellow Liquid Pearl was added to the center of the flowers. The green cardstock was layered on pink cardstock. The base of the card is an easel card created with green cardstock. The second picture shows the easel card. The scallop edge was created with a Fiskar's punch. The scallop edge was scored and folded to create the easel. The words are from A Muse and were stamped with black Versafine ink and embossed with polysparke embossing powder.
