FC:WT403

Photo Details

Poster: Reddyisco

This is my card for Cathy's challenge to use bleach on our cards. It has taken me all day to make this card....I was very much in a 'close enough is close enough' frame of mind by the time I finished it....lol!

I used Bazzil CS and I think the colour on the top panel (that turned grey when I bleached it) is Bluegrass. I coloured the flower on the right with a SU Always Artichoke marker, rather than bleach it I framed the top layer in gold paper then sponged the layer under that with a crumpled up plastic bag and Versamark, then heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. The centre of the gold cord bow is topped with a bead cap and a touch of gold Stickles.

TFL!!

Beautiful card, Jo, and isn't funny what bleach can do or not do? Love all those pretty golden accents to make this a really striking card~
