Cathy asked us to use bleach for today's WT Challenge. I have a healthy respect for the liquid and very rarely use it since I end up with "random polka dot" clothing! : )
Fears aside, I decide to pair it with an old metal stencil I have. I laid the stencil on PTI's Enchanted Evening CS and spritzed with bleach. Let it dry and came back with a mask with a circle cut out of it and spritzed again for the "orb". I shaded that shape with a bit of ink on a sponge.

Sallie, your card is amazing. I love the effect you got by doing a double-bleached effect. I really like the sentiment too - so true. This just jumped right into my FAVES. AMAZING! and GORGEOUS!

OMGosh, gorgeous card Sallie! The image is wonderful and looks fantastic sprayed. The "orb" as well. Nice sentiment, too. I'm glad you mentioned bleach spraying a stencil, another neat way to use the bleach. I've never used bleach to my recollection but I hope to try it today. Have a Happy!

Put your fear of bleach aside, Sallie...you've conquered this one! LOVE the final result of your double bleached technique! Your card is absolutely stunning! Love how you created the moon with the sponging...fabulous!

LOL, I have a couple of clothing items with bleachy splashes too! This turned out beautifully - like a foggy day. Birgit used a stencil too, I'm thinking I might find that easier than stamping!
