I don't have bleach so I tried to get a similar effect by using a substitute. I stamped the Long Life circle using the VersaMagic chalk ink Thatched Straw on Old Olive paper then blended it out with paper towel. I then stamped "Friend" and bamboo background in Old Olive on Vanilla paper. I think this "cheat trick" gives it a similar effect (not quite as subtle and surprising as the bleach effect). Thanks for the challenge and letting us non-bleach folks to join in. Great challenge! For some reason my camera made the background paper look gray but it is Old Olive or something close to it.

Totally cool card, and great improvising for the challenge! It gets frustrating when the camera changes colors for you, doesn't it? I really like your layout and layering - very pretty. Thanks for playing!
