This is my card for Sketch Challenge #391 and CC381 Whispering Island Party Challenge.
I tried the bleaching technique for the first time and I think it turned out pretty well. I started by embossing the white (made a little smudge on the left...oops!), then I carefully painting bleach over the flowers. I used my heat gun to dry the bleach and once it was dry I colored the flowers with my Pool Party marker. The color turned a little more green then the actual ink color, not sure exactly why but I still think it looks okay. Then did a little dry embossing and paper layering. Finally added a couple of flowers from my Pretties Kit, colored the centers with my Pool Party marker and it was done.

Oh, fabulous card. Love the little touch of green on the flowers in your focal point. Your embossing is especially nice too!

It looks beautiful! Great colors and pretty flowers! I've only used SU Pastels when I bleach, but I was told that the bleach will lighten the inked colors.

Weird how the Pool Party ended up looking more green, always fun wit this kind of technique to see what colors pop out! Lovely job, and I totally would not have noticed the smudge if you hadn't pointed it out!
