Hello I made this for this weeks Speedy The Cat's Friends Challenge #45. This weeks challenge is to use bleach!First I tried stamping and image with bleach, but I wasn't too happy with the outcome! Instead, I scrunched up a small portion or paper towel, dipped it in bleach and then used that to sponge it onto my cardstock! I love the way it turned out, the cardstock is from MFP and it's like a cross between kraft & creamy caramel, the bleach made it look weathered!
The cardbase is black with a layer of dp from Basic Grey's Oliver, edges distressed.
I stamped the bleached cardstock with the anise stamp from the Daffodils & Anise set. The sentiment is from the Greet the Day With Gerber set. The edges are also distressed on these pieces. The sentiment is popped up and I finished it off with some twine.
Have a Great Day!
Laurie
